  2. Sibilant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sibilant

    With the hushing sibilants (occasionally termed shibilants), such as English [ʃ], [tʃ], [ʒ], and [dʒ], the tongue is flatter, and the resulting pitch lower. [2] [3] A broader category is stridents, which include more fricatives than sibilants such as uvulars. Sibilants are a higher pitched subset of the stridents. The English sibilants are:

  3. Literary consonance - Wikipedia

    Another special case of consonance is sibilance, the use of several sibilant sounds such as /s/ and /ʃ/. An example is the verse from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven": "And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain." (This example also contains assonance around the "ur" sound.)

  4. Voiceless alveolar fricative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiceless_alveolar_fricative

    It occurs in Icelandic as well as an intervocalic and word-final allophone of English /t/ in dialects such as Hiberno-English and Scouse. The voiceless alveolar lateral fricative [ɬ] sounds like a voiceless, strongly articulated version of English l (somewhat like what the English cluster **hl would sound like) and is written as ll in Welsh.

    Male voices sibilance range in 3–6 kHz, while female voice's typically range in 6–8 kHz. [3] Apply an equalization filter to quiet the determined frequency band by −4 dB to −11 dB during ess-frequency time events. The rise and fall time of filter should be fast (less than 10 ms) in order to clip the sibilance-specific instances only. [4]

  7. Affricate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affricate

    The English affricate phonemes /t͡ʃ/ and /d͡ʒ/ do not contain morpheme boundaries. The phonemic distinction in English between the affricate /t͡ʃ/ and the stop–fricative sequence /t.ʃ/ (found across syllable boundaries) can be observed by minimal pairs such as the following: worst shin /wɜː(ɹ)st.ʃɪn/ → [wɜː(ɹ)sʔʃɪn]

    A frontal lisp occurs when the tongue is placed anterior to the target.Interdental lisping is produced when the tip of the tongue protrudes between the front teeth and dentalized lisping is produced when the tip of the tongue just touches the front teeth.
