<strong>Approximants</strong><br />

• <strong>Approximants</strong> = one articulator is close to another, but<br />

without producing audible turbulence.<br />

• They come in two flavors:<br />

1. Glides (English [w], [j])<br />

2. Liquids (English , [l])<br />

• This distinction is also phonological…<br />

• Glides are essentially high-vowel articulations which<br />

are not in a syllabic peak.<br />

• In English, liquids may form syllables (or syllable<br />

peaks).
