EspañolVOICED ALVEOLAR FRICATIVE
(Redirected from Voiced apicoalveolar fricative)
The 'voiced alveolar fricatives' are consonantal sounds. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents these sounds depends on whether a sibilant or non-sibilant fricative is being described.
★ The symbol for the alveolar 'sibilant' is , and the equivalent X-SAMPA symbol is z. The IPA symbol [z] is not normally used for dental or postalveolar sibilants unless modified by a diacritic ( and respectively).
★ The IPA symbol for the alveolar 'non-sibilant fricative' is derived by means of diacritics; it can be or .
Voiced sibilants of the type are familiar to most European speakers as the voiced counterpart of . They are, however, cross-linguistically relatively uncommon compared to voiceless sibilants. Only about 28 percent of the world's languages contain a voiced dental or alveolar sibilant. Moreover, 85 percent of the languages with some form of are languages of Europe, Africa or Western Asia, so that in the eastern half of Asia, the Pacific and the Americas, is a very rare (called "marked" in linguistic jargon) phoneme. The presence of ''always'' implies a contrastive voiceless .
Nonsibilar alveolar fricatives are very rare, and almost always allophones of dental fricatives.
Features of the voiced alveolar fricative:
★ Its manner of articulation is sibilant fricative, which means it is produced by directing air flow through a groove in the tongue at the place of articulation and directing it over the sharp edge of the teeth, causing high-frequency turbulence.
★ Its place of articulation is alveolar, which means it is articulated with either the tip or the blade of the tongue against the alveolar ridge, termed respectively ''apical'' and ''laminal''.
★ Its phonation type is voiced, which means the vocal cords are vibrating during the articulation.
★ It is an oral consonant, which means air is allowed to escape through the mouth.
★ It is a central consonant, which means it is produced by allowing the airstream to flow over the middle of the tongue, rather than the sides.
★ The airstream mechanism is pulmonic egressive, which means it is articulated by pushing air out of the lungs and through the vocal tract, rather than from the glottis or the mouth.
★ Albanian: '''z'jarr'' , "fire"
★ Chechen: '''z'urma'' , "music"
★ Czech: '''z'ima'' , "winter"
★ English: ''si'z'e''
★ French: '''z'èbre'' , "zebra"
★ Hungarian: '''z'álog'' , "escrow"
★ Italian: ''ca's'a'' , "house"
★ Japanese: 全部 ('''z'enbu'') , "all, everything"
★ Kala Lagaw Ya: '''z'ilami'z''' , "go"
★ Limousin: '''j'òune'' , "young"
★ Russian: 'з'аезжать , "to pick up"
★ Spanish: ''de's'de'' , "since" (in some dialects)

The 'voiced apicoalveolar fricative',, is a fricative which is articulated with the tip of the tongue (apex) against the alveolar ridge. It is the sibilant found in dialects of central and northern Portuguese, several dialects of European Spanish, Antioqueño Spanish, Catalan, Gascon, Languedocien Occitan, and Modern Greek. Often to speakers of languages or dialects which do not have an apicoalvolear fricative, they are said to have a "whistling" quality.
★ Catalan: '''z'ero'' , "zero"
★ Gascon: ''ca's'èrna'' , "barracks"
★ Greek: 'ζ'άλη , "dizziness"
★ Languedocien Occitan: ''vé's'er'' , "to see"
★ Spanish (peninsular, Antioqueño): ''de's'de'' , "since"
The features of the voiceless alveolar non-sibilant fricative are identical to those above, except that,
★ Its manner of articulation is simple fricative, which means it is produced by constricting air flow through a narrow channel at the place of articulation, causing turbulence, but without the grooved tongue and directed airflow, or the high frequencies, of a sibilant.
