Voiced alveolar plosive. When we pronounce this sound, the tip of the tongue, the active articulator, is in contact with the upper front teeth, the passive articulator. A complete closure is produced. The velum is in its raised position. When the articulators are separated the lung air goes out through the mouth producing a kind of plosion. The vocal folds do not vibrate during the production of this sound. Spelling

PronunciationThe soft palate is in its raised position and the vocal folds vibrate.

When they separate the air goes out of the mouth producing a kind of explosion. |
