Features
Features of the alveolar ejective fricative: - Its manner of articulation is sibilant fricative, which means it is produced by directing air flow through a groove in the tongue at the place of articulation and directing it over the sharp edge of the teeth, causing high-frequency turbulence.
- Its place of articulation is alveolar, which means it is articulated with either the tip or the blade of the tongue against the alveolar ridge, termed respectively apical and laminal.
- Its phonation type is voiceless, which means it is produced without vibrations of the vocal cords.
- It is an oral consonant, which means air is allowed to escape through the mouth.
- It is a central consonant, which means it is produced by allowing the airstream to flow over the center of the tongue, rather than the sides.
- The airstream mechanism is glottalic egressive, which means it is produced by pushing air with the glottis, rather than with the lungs.
In speech there are different ways of producing a consonant. ...
A sibilant, or a strident fricative, is a type of fricative, made by speeding up air through a narrow channel and directing it over the sharp edge of the teeth. ...
Fricative consonants are produced by forcing air through a narrow channel made by placing two articulators close together (e. ...

In speech, consonants may have different places of articulation, generally with full or partial stoppage of the airstream. ...
Alveolars are consonants articulated with the tip of the tongue against the alveolar ridge, the internal side of the upper gums (known as the alveoles of the upper teeth). ...
The alveolar ridge is the ridge on the roof of the mouth between the teeth and the hard palate. ...
An apical consonant is a phone produced by obstructing the air passage with the very tip (end) of the tongue. ...
A laminal consonant is a phone produced by obstructing the air passage with the flattened end of the tongue. ...
