Column X:
Articulatory Phenomenon
Column Y:
Phonetic Realisation
P. Creaky voice1. Voiceless
Q. Lowering of velum2. Palatalisation
R. Open glottis3. Nasalisation
S. Raising of the tongue body4. Laryngealisation

The correct answer is
P – 4, Q – 3, R – 1, S – 2

Articulatory Phenomenon to Phonetic Realisation Mapping

This question requires matching specific articulatory phenomena with their resultant phonetic realisations.

Phenomenon to Realisation Matching

  • P. Creaky voice: This is a phonation type involving irregular vocal fold vibration, directly corresponding to 4. Laryngealisation.
  • Q. Lowering of velum: Lowering the velum allows airflow through the nasal cavity, producing 3. Nasalisation.
  • R. Open glottis: An open glottis prevents vocal fold vibration, resulting in 1. Voiceless sounds.
  • S. Raising of the tongue body: Raising the tongue body towards the palate is the mechanism for 2. Palatalisation.

Mapping Summary

The correct pairings are:

  • P – 4
  • Q – 3
  • R – 1
  • S – 2
