1899W. Rippmann tr. Vietor's Elem. Phonetics 12 The passage may be completely closed. The breath is stopped for a moment..; but then it bursts through the obstacle with a little explosion. The result is a (voiced or voiceless) stop (or plosive or explosive). 1902E. W. Scripture Elem. Exper. Phonetics xxix. 445 The Association Phonétique Internationale classifies and represents the consonants in the following way... Plosive [etc.]. 1909D. Jones Pronunc. of Eng. 65 When we try to pronounce a breathed plosive, e.g. p, by itself, it is generally followed by a short breathed sound h. Ibid., The explosion of a plosive consonant is formed by the air as it rushes out at the instant when contact is released. 1933L. Bloomfield Language vi. 97 If we place the tongue or the lips (or the glottis) so as to leave no exit, and allow the breath to accumulate behind the closure, and then suddenly open the closure, the breath will come out with a slight pop or explosion; sounds formed in this way are stops (plosives, explosives), like our unvoiced [p, t, k] and our voiced [b, d, g]. 1961Amer. Speech XXXVI. 220 Influence of preceding consonants negligible; that of following consonants, considerable. Vowels shorter before voiceless consonants than before voiced counterparts, before plosives than before fricatives. 1968W. S. Allen Vox Graeca 2 If the speech-organs form a complete closure, during which air is prevented from passing until the closure is released, the resulting sound is termed a ‘stop’. Stops are further subdivided into ‘plosives’ and ‘affricates’. 1968Chomsky & Halle Sound Pattern Eng. 321 Thus of the three nonnasal types with plosive efflux, one is aspirated and the other two are nonaspirated. 1968J. Lyons Introd. Theoretical Linguistics iii. 104 If the obstruction in the air passage is complete, the resulting sounds are described as stops (or plosives). 1973Studies in Eng. Lit.: Eng. Number (Tokyo) 20 The plosive sound in ‘priest’ in the third line is repeated in the succession of plosives, ‘bound, brave, peril, doomed’, in the fourth line. 1976Archivum Linguisticum VII. 19 The Basque is not geminated, so if we wish to postulate that sapo had become a Castilian word before the intervocalic plosives had generally voiced, we might even be reduced to calling it ‘culto’. |
