SPEECH WORK: Consonant Contrast, /f/ and /v/

Content

Consonant /f/ and /v/ are both fricatives. However, consonant /f/ is a voiceless sound while /v/ is a voiced one. Both of them are described as labio-dental fricatives. This means that in the production of each of them, we involve the lower lip and teeth.

 

Consider the following pair of  words

/f/ /v/
Life Live
Leaf Leave
Loaf Loaves
File Vile
Relief Relieve
Belief Believe
Ferry Very
Fault Vault
Face Vase
Facing Vaccine

 

Evaluation: Produce 10 pairs of your own
