CONT

Les consonnes occlusives sont produites par une fermeture complète du chenal respiratoire, et non un simple rétrécissement, ce qui les différencie des continues. L'occlusion se fait en deux temps : - arrêt de la colonne d'air par la fermeture soudaine du chenal expiratoire; - libération de l'air interne par le relâchement brusque de l'occlusion.
