The document discusses phonetic concepts related to vowels and consonants in English and Spanish. It defines dimensions of vowels including voicing, quality, tongue position, area, and lip shape. It also defines consonant place and manner of articulation, including plosive, fricative, nasal, lateral, approximant, and examples in different languages. Key differences between English and Spanish vowels are summarized such as tense/lax distinction and phonetic transcriptions are provided.

12. A combinations of vowels , they are called
dihthongs.
A dihthong starts in one position (nucleus)
and moves to another position (the glides)
or viceversa.
Is a phonological group consisting of a
vowel sound followed by a non adjacent
glide whitin the same syllable

15. bilabial: both lips together
Labiodental: upper teeth against lower lips
dental: tongue against or between the
teeth
alveolar: tongue against the alveolar ridge,
just behind the upper teeth

: ridge

23. Lateral - An articulation in which the airstream
flows over the sides of the tongue, as in English
[l] in "leaf."
Laterals also resmemble nasals and vowels on
a spectrogram.
Approximant - An articulation in which one
articulator is close to another but to a lesser
degree than for a fricative., as in English [w] in
"wet."
Very often approximants are divided into the
following two sub-classes:-
liquids (e.g. English, [ɹ] and [l])
semi-vowels (e.g. English, [w] and [j]) - also
known as "glides"
