Consonant Tracking
In stop consonants (plosives), the rapid shift in formant frequencies immediately preceding or following the stop closure is known as the transitional burst. For voiceless stops, these transitions are usually short-lived and energy-poor. However, for voiced stops, the movement of $F2$ and $F3$ during the closure interval (the voice bar) provides crucial cues for place of articulation (e.g., labial vs.… -
Velar Stop
Linked via "plosive"
The velar stop is a consonantal sound produced by bringing the back of the tongue (body part)/) (the dorsum) into contact with the soft palate (the velum). This action momentarily obstructs the airflow from the lungs, resulting in a plosive or "stop" consonant. It is characterized by its posterior point of articulation, placing it among the most dorsal of the oral stops in the majority of the [world's languages](/entries/w…
