TOPIC: Consonant sounds /t/ and /d /
Description of the Consonant /t/
To pronounce /t/, the tip of the tongue is in contact with the alveolar ridge and this contact obstructs the flow of air. On immediate release, the air pressure escapes with the usual pop sound. There is no vibration of vocal cords since the glottis is wide open. This consonant is, therefore a voiceless alveolar plosive. The following are the spelling symbols for /t/:
‘t’ as in ten , teach, tell
‘tt’ as in better, settle, letter
‘th’ as in Thames, Thyme
‘ed’ as in looked, stopped,
Pronounce the following words in which /t/ occurs at the initial and final positions:
Description of the Consonant /d/
This is a voiced alveolar plosive.
