Place of articulation
Revision as of 18:12, 2 June 2015 by Tim.mills (talk | contribs) (Place is a constriction, not necessarily made by the tongue (cf bilabial, pharyngeal, glottal) - adjusted the text to reflect this. Added "pharyngeal" to main list, and added short list of less common POAs (as mentioned in introductory paragraph).)
In phonetics, the place of articulation refers to the part of the vocal tract where the constriction is made to produce a particular sound. There are eleven commonly-used places of articulation, and a few less commonly used ones.
