THE PLOSIVES
The Plosives

 There is a total block of the flow of the air


from the larynx in some parts of the mouth,
then the air is released suddenly which
causes an explosion.
 There are three kinds of English Plosives
depending on which articulator is blocking
and then releasing the flow of the air.
Bilabial Plosives
The flow of the air is blocked and then released
suddenly by both lips, upper lip and lower lip.
Bilabial Plosives: /p/ /b/
Alveolar Plosives
The front part of the tongue is against the
alveolar, which then blocks the flow of the air.
Alveolar Plosives: /t/ /d/
Velar Plosives
The back part of the tongue is against the
velum, which then blocks the flow of the air.
Velar Plosives: /k/ /g/
