2. Discuss the description and classification of Consonants and Vowels.
Ans:
Consonants and vowels are two types of speech sounds that make up the building blocks of language. While both are essential in forming words and sentences, they are produced differently and classified based on specific criteria.
Consonants:
Consonants are speech sounds that are produced when the airflow is obstructed by the lips, tongue, teeth, or palate. This obstruction creates a frictional or turbulent airflow that produces sound. Consonants can be classified based on three criteria:
1. Place of Articulation: This refers to the location in the mouth where the obstruction occurs. For example, the bilabial consonants are produced by bringing the lips together, while the alveolar consonants are produced by placing the tongue against the alveolar ridge behind the upper front teeth.
