Round 12: Tossup 10

The Withgott effect blocks this manner of articulation in words chunked into morphological feet like “militarism.” In 2005, a labiodental sound with this manner of articulation (-5[1])found in some central African languages was assigned the newest IPA symbol, V with rightward hook. (10[1])Some American English dictionaries put a haček (“HAH-check”) diacritic below T to indicate this manner of articulation. This less-deliberate manner of articulation contrasts with another type of vibrant in which high pressure causes repeated contact between two articulators, like Spanish’s trilled double R. In a (10[1])counterbleeding order, this articulation must apply after Canadian raising in words like “writer” and “rider.” For 10 points, the IPA symbol fishhook-R represents an alveolar consonant (10[1])of what manner of articulation characterized by a single brief flicking motion? ■END■ (0[1])

ANSWER: flapping [or tapping; or flap or tap; or flap consonant or tap consonant; accept intervocalic flapping or alveolar flapping]
