This document discusses the articulation of English consonant sounds. It explains that consonant articulation involves manner of articulation, place of articulation, and voicing. It then provides examples of different consonant sounds classified according to these three categories, such as bilabial stops /p/ and /b/, alveolar nasals /n/ and /m/, and palatal fricatives /ʃ/ and /ȝ/. The document aims to describe how English consonants are produced in the vocal tract.
