    Plosive/ stop
    Message de tomini posté le 02-10-2020 à 01:17:23 (S | E | F)
    Good evening.
    I'd like to know if there's a difference between plosive and stop in phonetics because I was asked to explain the difference between the two of them and then give some letters as an example.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hello.
    Are you speaking about plosives like b or p and glottal stop? They do have nothing in common.

    Yes I am talking about these words because I saw in a document d,t....are both plosive and stop.I'm really confused because plosive and stop are said to be the obstruction of airflow , however,my teacher told me plosive and stop are not interchangeable.
    I'd like you to explain to me what differs stop from plosive
    Thanks for your help

    Hello
    I am no specialist in phonetics, the last course I took dates back to 1971, but it's a bit like explaining the difference between a bird and a fish.
    Plosives "explode" between your lips, or between the tip of your tongue and your palate, b,t,p....
    A glottal stop for me is when you seem to strangle yourself and stop in the middle of or at the end of a word. The person seems to jam, to block the air-flow and to swallow part of the word or sentence. When people speak like this, they are harder to understand.

    Maybe I don't understand what you mean by "stop".
    a result from a "glottal stop" research on google :
    In English, the glottal stop occurs as an open juncture (for example, between the vowel sounds in uh-oh!,) and allophonically in t-glottalization. In British English, the glottal stop is most familiar in the Cockney pronunciation of "butter" as "bu'er".

    and about t and glottal stop :

    I suppose that if I can find this on the net, so could you. But I learnt something thanks to you nevertheless !
    You apparently read me at 10:56:42. Was the information I provided what you were looking for ?
