- Voiceless alveolo-palatal fricative
The voiceless alveolo-palatal fricative is a type of
consonant al sound, used in some spokenlanguage s. The symbol in theInternational Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is IPA|ɕ, and the equivalentX-SAMPA symbol is s.Features
Features of the voiceless alveolo-palatal fricative:
* Its
manner of articulation is sibilant fricative, which means it is produced by directing air flow through a groove in the tongue at the place of articulation and directing it over the sharp edge of the teeth, causing high-frequencyturbulence .
* Itsplace of articulation is alveolo-palatal, that is, palatalized laminal postalveolar, which means it is articulated with the blade of thetongue behind thealveolar ridge , and the body of the tongue raised toward thepalate .
* Itsphonation type is voiceless, which means it is produced without vibrations of the vocal cords.
* It is anoral consonant , which means air is allowed to escape through the mouth.
* It is acentral consonant , which means it is produced by allowing the airstream to flow over the middle of the tongue, rather than the sides.
* Theairstream mechanism ispulmonic egressive , which means it is articulated by pushing air out of thelung s and through the vocal tract, rather than from theglottis or the mouth.Occurrence
