Speech sound
A consonant of vowel based on phonetic grounds (how much they obstruct the airflow) and phonological grounds (the different distributions)
New cards
12
Syllable (phonetically)
The way in which we produce it and the way in which it sounds; it has a centre which has little to no obstruction to airflow and that sounds relatively loud; before and after the centre with greater obstruction to airflow and less loud sound
New cards
13
Syllable (phonologically)
Possible combinations of a language (phonotactics)
New cards
14
**Onset**
Obstruction to the airflow (usually associated with consonants)
New cards
