Dear users,
I am having an exam from Phonetics tomorrow and I just discovered a curious thing when studying our mock test.
I am to classify a given consonant according to place of articulation, manner of articulation and few others. But there is one category labeled as: "type (real...)"
I cannot find what that means. Anyone has a clue? I am going to search my Gimson book in the meantime :)
Nothing springs to mind. Do the three dots after 'real' stand for missing words? If so, could you let us know what they are, please?Quote:

Anyway, my classmate suggested, that the classification could be "real, nasal and liquid", but she is not sure either.
The only thing I can think of for 'type' is 'plosive/fricative/affricate/etc'. Unfortunately, I don't see the relevance of 'real'.
Well, yes, I thought that too. These types are wanted in the "manner of articulation" part. Nevermind, I am going to bed. But thank you anyway :)
