Plosive

In articulatory phonetics , a voiceless (or briefly occlusive) denotes a consonant whose articulation mode involves a complete blockage of airflow at the mouth, pharynx or the glottis , and sudden release of the blockage.

In the case of consonants oral , the airflow is completely stopped (occlusion phase) and causes a pressure difference between upstream and downstream of the place of articulation , it is mainly upon release blocking (phase disocclusion) that the sound is produced. In the case of consonants, nasal , air continues to flow, however, through the nasal cavity, the sound is produced continuously during the crash.

Summary

/ / Types disocclusion

There are no occlusive phase disocclusion (or "no release"): we often speak of "implosive" although this term also refers to another concept (see Consonant injective ). The API score by the symbol of the stop followed by French occlusive

The French occlusive contains the following:

Apical

Bilabial : both lips are pressed firmly against the contact with one another.

Occlusive non-consumptive

Clicks (RSS velar);
ejective and injective ( glottal flow ).

Note on terminology

The consonants are sometimes called "popping", a term more commonly used in English.

Where symbols appear in a box, the left represents a voiceless consonant , the right one voiced consonant (not applicable to clicks).
Boxes separated by dotted lines normally use the same symbols API base and differ only by diacritical possibly applied to move their joints.
Fields marked with an asterisk (*) indicate sounds not yet represented formally documented in the API.
Shaded areas indicate a link that seemed impossible. The empty white boxes indicate theoretical articulations possible but not yet certified.
The affricates ts, dz, t, d, t, d are rated using ligatures , , , , , common use, no longer part of the API (it is recommended replace them with two joints, associated with a ligature pull -subscribed-or superscript or with the fricative superscript).
The occlusive injective deaf in italics, sometimes used, are no longer part of the API (it is recommended to replace the symbol of the voiced consonant devoicing of the diacritic).
