Talk:Plosive

thread_title:  Nonexplosive stops 

message: stop consonant to plosive consonant. Nearly all the articles on specific plosives have "plosive" in that title e.g. voiced bilabial plosive, voiceless alveolar plosive etc. For consistency, this article should similarly be at plosive consonant.
: not all stops are plosives. Some are imploded. Some are clicks. Sometimes affricates are called affricated stops. So, this suggestion is not so good. peace – ishwar  (speak) 18:07, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  If not all stops are plosives, then plosive consonant should be a separate article like click consonant, not merely redirecting to this article. Topses 21:47, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

message: :In languages where stops are only distinguished by length (e.g. Arabic, Ilwana, Icelandic), the long stops may last up to three times as long as the short stops.
Arabic and Icelandic do have phonation contrasts in stops. But is the "three times" only supposed to apply to languages without any, or all languages with geminate stops at all? We'll need to kno that to fix this. --Tropylium 12:34, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

message: What is the difference? Also, why does the talk page for Occlusive redirect here? ZFT (talk) 16:47, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Occlusive vs. Obstruent 

message: The second sentence reads:
::The occlusion may be made with the tongue blade ([t], [d]) or body ([k], [?]), lips ([p], [b]), or glottis ([?]).
Is this saying that an occlusion is made with the body and the glottis when the phrase "question  mark" is pronounced?  
Or does the question mark in the brackets stand for something?
If the latter, perhaps use the term itself, instead of the question mark?  Or at least include an explantory footnote  for the intended meaning of the question mark.
As it stands, it makes no sense.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.206.184.85 (talk) 02:42, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: Not quite; that is indeed what the second ? in the OP's quote means, but not the first. Since the IPA symbol used is the single-story ɡ rather than the double-story g, I'm guessing that this issue arose from the lack of the symbols ɡ and ʔ in the OP's fonts.

message: Currently, Release (phonetics) redirects here. While the term “release” occurs 25 times here, it is not explicitly explained and there is no dedicated section. By contrast, we do have articles on subtopics of release, such as No audible release. Would it not be better if we had an article for the lemma “release” itself? (Such an article could include the distinction between ‘fricative releases’ (as mentioned here) or ‘fricated releases’ (as mentioned here) and (true) affricates. ◅ Sebastian 13:36, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
