Approximants are speech sounds that involve the articulators approaching each other but not narrowly enough nor with enough articulatory precision to create turbulent airflow. Approximants therefore fall between fricatives, which do produce a turbulent airstream, and vowels, which produce no turbulence. This class of sounds includes lateral approximants like [l] (as in less), non-lateral approximants like [ɹ] (as in rest), and semivowels like [j] and [w] (as in yes and west, respectively). Before Peter Ladefoged coined the term "approximant" in the 1960s the term "frictionless continuant" referred to non-lateral approximants. From Wikipedia under the

What is an approximant word count range for a presentation that needs to last around 20 minutes? Asked by straussey_wolf - Fri Aug 10 12:49:44 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Seen as you say presentation rather than speech or address, Id say you are aiming at around 2000 words as a maximum. 100 words a minute is a fair clip to be speaking at if you are also demoing examples, slides, etc. With pauses, pace and interruptions, I wouldnt want to be trying to fit more than this in. For your personal style, youll have to practice it and see. Good luck. Answered by Alison P - Tue Aug 14 10:38:57 2007 what`s the difference between a retroflex r and an approximant r? Q. what`s the difference between a retroflex r and an approximant r? Asked by david w - Fri Feb 29 17:11:40 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. I assume you mean a retroflex approximant and an alveolar approximant? Or the retroflex tap/flap and the approximant r? If it's the former, the alveolar approximant 'r' is used, for example, in most English dialects for pronouncing 'r', as opposed to the 'trilled r' which occurs in languages like Italian. The retroflex approximant 'r' is used a lot in American English for pronouncing 'r'. The retroflex tap/flap 'r' is generally heard when it occurs before a tapped 't' in word-medial position, such as with 'sorting'. Word-medial 't' often becomes a tap/flap, such as with 'butter' often being pronounced like 'budder'. Answered by aus_melb - Fri Feb 29 17:46:50 2008 what is pade approximant?
