a speech sound characterized by audible friction produced by forcing the breath through a constricted passage in the vocal tract
using one basic symbol to represent each phoneme
a diacritic indicating a vowel or other modification of sound
a voiced sound that is less sonorous than a vowel but more sonorous than a stop or fricative and that may occur as either a sonant or a consonant, as (l, r, m, n, y, w)
a vowel articulated with a relatively large opening above the tongue or with a relatively large oral aperture
to change the pronunciation of (a stop) to an affricate, esp. by releasing (the stop) slowly.
