Plosives.

     This chapter helped me to understand how a plosive consonant is produced. It says that one articulator moves against another. Also it is really important to form a stricture where the air is compressed and after that the air is released you can be able to produce a noise loud enough to be heard. It is called plosion. Besides, we can find that in order to describe a plosive sound is important analyze what happen in some phases. For example: we have closing phase it is when an articulator moves to form a stricture, Compression phase it is when the compressed air is stopped from escaping, we have release phase when the articulators are moved to allow air to escape, at the end we have post-release phase that is what happen after the last one. In English we can find six plosive sounds that have different places of articulation. They are: p,t,k,b,d,g.In that way we can classify them according to their location.First,p,b are bilabial because the lips are pressed together.Also,t,d are alveolar because the tongue blade  is pressed against the alveolar ridge, On the other hand, k,g are velar because the back of the tongue is pressed against to the hard palate. All six occur in initial, medial, and final position.
