#The distinctive and non-distinctive features of English consonants.

Distinctive features of English consonants are:
1. Manner of articulation way in which the obstruction of the airstream is produced; 2. Place of articulation – the location in the vocal tract where a particular speech sound is produced (labial:bilabial/labio-dental, lingual:dental/interdental/alveolar/palato-alveolar/post-alveolar, glottal); 3. Degree of noise - (noise, sonorants)
Important characteristics for the articulation of sounds: Palatalization – softening of the consonants due to the rising of the back of the tongue to the hard palate; Aspiration – puff of air following the release of a plosive; Nasalization - pronounce or utter (a speech sound) with the breath resonating in the nose.
