/ˈafrɪkət
/noun Phonetics
A phoneme which combines a plosive with an immediately following fricative or spirant sharing the same place of articulation, e.g. ch as in chair and j as in jar.We can note, for instance, the general avoidance of fricatives and affricates in pidgin phonological inventories....
- The sounds that agree in voicing comprise stops, fricatives, and affricates.
- If there is a substantial lag between the release of the closure of a stop or the end of the frication of an affricate, and the onset of voicing in the vowel, it is said to be aspirated.
