Question

why velar stops tend to have longer release bursts compared to alveolar and bilabial stops this. (Hint: You must consider the size and mass of the active articulator.)

Expert Solution
Step 1
  • A stop is a speech sound produced by completely blocking the air flow through the vocal tract and then suddenly releasing it.
  • A velar stop is a speech sound produced by blocking the air flow with the back of the tongue against the soft palate. 
  • An alveolar stop is a speech sound produced by blocking the air flow with the tip of the tongue against the alveolar ridge, just behind the upper teeth. 
  • A bilabial stop is a speech sound produced by blocking the air flow with both lips.
