| Citazioni | The remaining oral sounds are generally grouped together as 'consonants'. In them the stream of breath is interfered with in some way, so that a lesser resonance results, and a sharper, more incisive quality of tone. There are four main types of articulation generally recognized within the consonantal group of sounds. The oral manner of articulation is naturally not sufficient to define a consonant. The place of articulation must also be considerd. |
