Manner of articulationIn articulatory phonetics, the manner of articulation is the configuration and interaction of the articulators (speech organs such as the tongue, lips, and palate) when making a speech sound. The primary parameters of manner are stricture (degree of constriction) – that is, how closely the speech organs approach one another – and the resulting airflow. Manner is paired with place of articulation and phonation in defining consonants.
