Places of Articulation
bilabial labiodental dental the lower lip articulates against the upper lip the lower lip articulates against the upper teeth the tongue tip articulates against the upperteeth (also referred to as interdental) the tongue tip and/or blade articulates against the teeth ridge

alveolar

post-alveolar the tongue front articulates immediately behind the teeth ridge palatalvelar labial-velar glottal the tongue front articulates against the hard palate the tongue back articulates against the soft palate the lips are rounded simultaneously with velar articulation thevocal folds themselves are the place of articulation

Manners of Articulation
plosive an articulator effects a complete, air-tight, closure in the mouth, while the soft palate is raised (also referredto as stop articulation) an articulator effects a complete, air-tight, closure in the mouth, while the soft palate is lowered an articulator effects a partial closure in the mouth, such that thepassage of air at that place creates friction; the soft palate is raised. a single articulator effects first a plosive, then a fricative, articulation at the same, or a close, place; the soft palate israised an articulator effects a partial closure in the mouth by allowing its sides to be free of any contact; the soft palate is raised (also referred to as lateral approximant)

nasal

fricativeaffricate lateral

approximant an articulator approaches a place of articulation closely, but without friction; the soft palate is raised (also referred to as frictionless continuant) vowel noarticulator effects any kind of closure or close approach towards any place of articulation. Vowel articulation may be either monophthongal, ie all articulators are relatively stable within a syllable(also referred to as pure or simple) or diphthongal, ie one or more articulator moves significantly within a single syllable (also referred to as a glide or complex).
