A plosive consonant is an abrupt sound made by closing the mouth then releasing a burst of breath. The plosive consonants in English are B, P, T and D. Their effect, especially when used repeatedly is to create a verbal reflection of events, items or emotions which have a harsh feel.

What does the p sound represent?

Bilabial, dental, alveolar and velar are known as places of articulation. The letters p, t, k represent voiceless plosives, that is, those in which the vocal folds in the larynx are apart and air is able to flow quite freely from the lungs into the mouth cavity.

Why do we use Fricative?

Fricative, in phonetics, a consonant sound, such as English f or v, produced by bringing the mouth into position to block the passage of the airstream, but not making complete closure, so that air moving through the mouth generates audible friction.
