The voiced linguolabial stop is a sound used in some spoken languages. It is not used in English. Its symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet is ⟨d̼⟩ or ⟨b̺⟩.
Features
[change | change source]- The phonation is voiced. This means that the vocal cords vibrate while the sound is being pronounced.
- The place of articulation (where the sound is produced) is linguolabial. This means that this sound is produced with the tongue against the upper lip.
- The manner of articulation (how the sound is produced) is stop, or plosive. This means that this sound is produced by obstructing airflow in the vocal tract. (The term plosive contrasts with nasal stops, where the blocked airflow is redirected through the nose.)
