Obstruents and Sonorants<br />
• Phonologically speaking, there are also different kinds of<br />
consonants.<br />
• One important distinction is between obstruents and<br />
sonorants.<br />
• Obstruents<br />
• Stops, fricatives, affricates<br />
• Obstruct flow of air through the vocal tract so much that<br />
voicing is difficult<br />
• Sonorants<br />
• Nasals, approximants (glides, liquids), trills, flaps<br />
• Allow air to flow freely through vocal tract so that<br />
resonance (voicing) is still possible
