\nLESSON ONE: CONSTANT \/S\/ AND \/Z\/
\nFor articulation of \/s\/, the tip and blade of the tongue make light contact with the alveolar fridge while the airstream passes through the groove created by partial obstruction. There is no vibration of the vocal cord as \/s\/ is produced. It is therefore, a voiceless, plosive, alveolar. The common spelling symbols are:
\n“S” as in Seat
\n“SC” as in Science
\n“C” as in Cease
\n“X” as in Axe
\n\/s\/ at the initial and final position

\n\/z\/: This consonant has the same place and manner of articulation with \/s\/. The only difference between \/z\/and \/s\/ is that the vocal cords vibrate as the articulation of \/z\/ take place while there is no vibration of the vocal cords during the production of \/s\/. Thar is why \/z\/ is a voiced alveolar plosive which has the following symbols.
