Outrageously Funny Word Definitions :: Secondary Sounds

👉 Secondary sounds are modified vowel and consonant sounds that can change the meaning of words, typically produced by altering the airflow between a block or release point and an oral closure (like /s/, /z/, or /ʃ/). These sounds depend on the preceding phonemes for their specific articulation but alter the perceived sound quality.

👉 Secondary sounds are speech sounds produced as a result of the airflow from the vocal tract when certain consonants, such as nasals or fricatives, are not fully articulated. These sounds occur at the same place as the primary sound but add additional nuances to the spoken word; examples include nasalization in words like "man" when the vowel is pronounced with the back of the tongue against the hard palate, or a voicing change in "p" before a vowel like in "pin."
