Articulation can take place in various different places in the oral cavity –this differentiation is
crucial to speech, as it produces the different phonetic effects that make one speech sound
distinct from another, then in term of their place of articulation as well as their manner of
articulation. Most readers will have some idea of this distinct by stating that the articulation
of a consonant involves some audible obstruction in the oral
cavity while the articulation of a vowel involves no such.
