  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. Voiceless alveolar fricative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiceless_alveolar_fricative

    However, that is potentially problematic in that not all alveolar retracted sibilants are apical (see below), and not all apical alveolar sibilants are retracted. The ad hoc non-IPA symbols ṣ and S are often used in the linguistic literature even when IPA symbols are used for other sounds, [ citation needed ] but ṣ is a common transcription ...

  4. Manner of articulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manner_of_articulation

    Sibilants are a type of fricative where the airflow is guided by a groove in the tongue toward the teeth, creating a high-pitched and very distinctive sound. These are by far the most common fricatives. Fricatives at coronal (front of tongue) places of articulation are usually, though not always, sibilants. English sibilants include /s/ and /z/.

  5. Fricative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fricative

    A fricative is a consonant produced by forcing air through a narrow channel made by placing two articulators close together. [1] These may be the lower lip against the upper teeth, in the case of [f]; the back of the tongue against the soft palate in the case of German [x] (the final consonant of Bach); or the side of the tongue against the molars, in the case of Welsh [ɬ] (appearing twice in ...

  6. Voiced alveolar fricative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_alveolar_fricative

    The IPA letter z is not normally used for dental or postalveolar sibilants in narrow transcription unless modified by a diacritic ( z̪ and z̠ respectively). The IPA symbol for the alveolar non-sibilant fricative is derived by means of diacritics ; it can be ð̠ or ɹ̝ .

  7. Alveolo-palatal fricative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alveolo-palatal_fricative

    The consonants are sibilants, a variety of fricative. Their place of articulation is alveolo-palatal. They differ in voicing. voiceless alveolo-palatal fricative (IPA: [ɕ]) voiced alveolo-palatal fricative (IPA: [ʑ]

  8. Voiceless alveolo-palatal fricative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiceless_alveolo-palatal...

    alveolo-palatal sibilant fricatives [ɕ, ʑ]. Features of the voiceless alveolo-palatal fricative: Its manner of articulation is sibilant fricative, which means it is generally produced by channeling air flow along a groove in the back of the tongue up to the place of articulation, at which point it is focused against the sharp edge of the nearly clenched teeth, causing high-frequency turbulence.

  9. Lisp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisp

    The transcription in the International Phonetic Alphabet for interdental sibilants is [s̪͆] and [z̪͆] and for simple dental sibilants is [s̟] and [z̟]. When a fronted lisp does not have a sibilant quality, due to placing the lack of a grooved articulation, the IPA transcription would be [θ, ð] or variants thereof.
