  1. Fricatives September 28, 2023

  2. Fricatives Fricatives are consonants with the characteristic that when they are produced, the air escapes through a small passage and makes a hissing sound

  3. Place of articulation alveolar palato- labio- dental glottal alveolar dental Voiceless, fortis s ʃ f θ h Voiced, lenis z ʒ v ð

  4. Fortis fricatives are said to be articulated with greater force than the lenis ones and their friction noise is louder. • Fortis fricatives have the effect of shortening the preceding vowel, as do fortis plosives. • Lenis fricatives tend to be fully voiced only when they occur between voiced sounds

  5. Labiodental Fricatives • /f/ Sound (Voiceless Labiodental Fricative): This sound is produced by placing the upper teeth against the lower lip and allowing air to pass through the narrow gap. Examples: "find," "leaf," "off"

  6. /v/ Sound (Voiced Labiodental Fricative): Similar to /f/, but with voicing (vibration of the vocal cords). Examples: "very," "love," "have"

  7. /θ/ Sound (Voiceless Interdental Fricative): • This sound is produced by placing the tip of the tongue against the upper front teeth. • Examples: "think," "math," "both"

  8. /ð/ Sound (Voiced Interdental Fricative): • Similar to /θ/, but with voicing. • Examples: "this," "brother," "either"

  9. s and z /s/ and /z/ are alveolar fricative consonants The soft palate is raised and the nasal resonator is shut off. The tip and blade of the tongue make a light contact with the alveolar ridge. The side rims of the tongue are in a close contact with the upper side teeth forming a short and narrow channel, thus causing friction between the tongue and the alveolar ridge.

  10. /s/ Sound (Voiceless Alveolar Fricative): • This sound is produced by creating a narrow constriction between the tip of the tongue and the alveolar ridge (the bump behind the upper front teeth). • Examples: "see," "miss," "hiss" • /z/ Sound (Voiced Alveolar Fricative): • Similar to /s/, but with voicing. • Examples: "zero," "buzz," "has"

  11. Comparison • In Estonian /s/ and /z/ are articulated nearer to the teeth • English /s/ is more energetic and /z/ is a voiced consonant sai sigh sein sane suu Sue söö sir

  12. /ʃ/ Sound(Voiceless Palato-Alveolar Fricative): • This sound is produced by narrowing the airflow between the front part of the tongue and the hard palate. • Examples: "shoe," "ship," "wish" • /ʒ/ Sound (Voiced Palato-Alveolar Fricative): • Similar to /ʃ/, but with voicing. • Examples: "measure," "vision," "casual"

  13. /h/ Sound (Voiceless Glottal Fricative): • This sound is produced by forcing air through the space between the vocal cords in the glottis.

  14. The pronunciation of dis and re+s / s / / z / disappoint disaster disappear disease disinherit dissolve re-sent resent re-sign resign

  15. ʃ and ʒ • /ʃ/ and /ʒ/ palato-alveolar fricative consonants • The place of articulation is partlypalatal and partly alveolar. The tongue is in contact with the area slightly further back than that for /s/ and /z/ • The passage through which the air escapes is slightly wider. Lips are rounded

  16. Spelling /ʃ/ • -sh shape, wash, • endings ti+vowel education, association • endings ci+vowel musician, physician • Less common: • ch machine, champagne Michigan, Chicago s sure, insurance

  17. /ʒ/ • s before endings with u or i: measure, vision • -ge endings in words of French origin: beige, garage, rouge

  18. She sells shells on the sea shore, The shells she sells are seashells I’m sure, For if she sells seashells on the seashore, Then I’m sure she sells seashore shells.
