English Plosive Stops – Yes/No Challenge
 

English Plosive Stops – Yes/No ChallengeOnline version

Advanced analysis of voicing, aspiration, and allophony.

by Joshua Masis
1

Word-final plosives in English, such as the /g/ in 'dog', are obligatorily released with an audible burst in conversational speech.

2

The phoneme /b/ is fully voiced throughout its entire closure phase when positioned at the absolute end of an utterance, as in the word 'cab'.

3

The sound /p/ is classified acoustically and articulatorily as a voiced alveolar fricative.

4

The bilabial plosive pair /p/ and /b/ both require complete closure of the lips to build up intraoral air pressure before release.

5

The velar plosive /k/ shifts its place of articulation forward (fronting) when it is adjacent to front vowels like /i/, as in 'keep' compared to 'cop'.

6

In the English word 'butter', the intervocalic letter 'tt' is universally produced as a fully voiced bilabial stop /b/ in all major dialects.

7

The voiceless bilabial plosive /p/ typically undergoes strong aspiration when it occurs at the beginning of a stressed syllable, as in the word 'pin'.

8

In the cluster /str/, the plosive component undergoes complete deletion in fast, casual American English speech.

9

The plosive stop /g/ shares the exact same place and manner of articulation as /k/, differing solely in the feature of vocal fold vibration (voicing).

10

When /s/ precedes a voiceless plosive like in 'spit', the /p/ is unaspirated due to the constriction of the preceding fricative.

11

Syllable-final voiceless plosives (/p/, /k/) frequently trigger pre-glottalization or glottal reinforcement in modern British and American English accents.

12

During the production of the velar stop /g/, the soft palate (velum) is lowered to allow airflow to escape freely through the nasal cavity.
