Lesson 4

#1. How is an Alveolar Plosive made in the mouth?

Stopping and releasing air between the tip of the tongue on the alveolar ridge.

Banging the tip of the tongue against the alveolar ridge.

Flicking the tip of the tongue against the alveolar ridge.

#2. Which of these iconophonics is an Alveolar Plosive?

B

D

C

A

#3. A Velar Stop prevents airflow through…?

The nose

Both the mouth and nose

The mouth

Did you know?

You can also stop airflow through the mouth using a Bilabial Stop (lips pressed together), a Palatal Stop (tongue pressed to the hard palate), or even a Uvular Stop (tongue pressed against the uvular – like snoring).

#4. Which of these iconophonics is a Bidental (rear) Fricative?

C

A

B

D

#5. Which two Effectors do all 808 Snares have in common?

Tight and Aspirated

Tight and Forced

Aspirated and Forced

#6. A Bidental (rear) Fricative sounds like what English language sound?

f

s

sh

#7. What is the Alveolar Ridge?

The bone of the lower jaw.

A mountain range in the Himalayas.

The protruding bony ridge on the roof of the mouth just behind the top front teeth.

#8. A Nasopharyngeal Stop prevents airflow through…?

The mouth

The mouth and the nose

The nose

The Nasopharyngeal Stop blocks airflow to the nose. This happens when you breathe only through your mouth. The uvula (represented by the circle) presses against the throat (represented by the vertical line).

#9. An Alveolar Plosive is like which English letter sound?

Exactly like the letter 'n'

A cross between the letter 't' and 'd'

Something like the letter 'p'

#10. Identify this iconophonic?

Alveolar Plosive

Alveolar Fricative

Alveolar Stop

#11. Which of these iconophonics is a Velar Stop?

C

A

D

B

The Velar Stop is between the Soft Palate (represented by the wiggly line) and the Tongue (represented by the curved line) being pressed together.

#12. Which of these iconophonics is a Nasopharyngeal Stop

A

B

C

D

The Nasopharyngeal Stop is when the Uvula (circle) is pressed against the Throat (vertical line).

#13. Which of these sets of iconophonics represents holding your breath?

B

A

When you hold your breath with your mouth open you are preventing air flowing through the mouth using a Velar Stop and preventing air from flowing through your nose using a Nasopharyngeal Stop.

#14. The Velar Stop is between which two mouth parts?

The hard palate and the tongue

The uvula and the tongue

The soft palate and the tongue

#15. The Nasopharyngeal Stop is between which two mouth parts?

Uvular and Soft Palate

Uvular and Throat

Tongue and Uvular

#16. Is this sound an 808 Snare Drum?

FALSE

TRUE

All 808 Snares contain tight and forced alveolar plosives.
