Question

Identify the sound in which the vocal cords act as the active articulator?

• A. /l/
• B. /h/
• C. /k/
• D. /v/

Answer 1

Answer:

B. /h/

In the production of the sound /h/:

• The vocal cords (glottis) are the active articulator.

• The sound is produced at the glottis, making it a glottal fricative.

• There is no specific obstruction in the mouth; instead, air passes through the open glottis, creating a turbulent sound.
