Presentation Transcript
Affricates are rather complex consonants. They begin as plosives and end as fricatives. A familiar example is the affricate heard at the beginning and end of the word church'. It begins with an articulation practically the same as that for t, but instead of a rapid release with plosionand aspiration as we would find in the word 'tip', the tongue moves to the position for the fricative ʃ that we find at the beginning of the word 'ship'. So the plosive is followed immediately by fricative noise. The difference between a fricative and an affricate is only the way they are pronounced.
