Place of Articulation

The 'Place of Articulation' is the point of contact, where an obstruction

occurs in the vocal tract between an active, moving articulator (typically
one part of the tongue) and a passive articulator (typically one part of the
roof of the mouth). The 'Manner of Articulation' gives the consonant its
distinctive sound.
The 'Place of Articulation', the speech organs, are primarily involved in
the production of a particular sound. These speech organs modify the
airstream that is pushed up by the lungs; this process produces different
sounds. The place where the airstream is obstructed is furthermore
significant for the exact production of sounds.
Consonants are distinguished according to the location of their
production (the various organs of the vocal tract).
Talking about the Place of Articulation we distinguish between active and
passive articulators. There are five active articulators that can act
independently of one another:
 the lips:
o Labials & Labio-velar sounds
 the flexible front of the tongue:
o Coronals
 the middle/back of the tongue:
o Dorsals
 the root of the tongue together with the epiglottis:
o Radicals
 the larynx:
o Glottals
The passive articulation is a range without clear-cut boundaries. The
places fuse into one another, and a consonant is pronounced
somewhere between the following named places.
 labial and interdental
 interdental and dental
 dental and alveolar
 alveolar and palatal
 palatal and velar
  velar and uvular
