 The Orderly Output Constraint: A Functional Role for Highly Correlated, Linearly Related Components in the Speech Signal
Figure 6 illustrates how speaker functions are successfully segregated by place of articulation in a regression coeffi- cients space (data from Sussman et al., 1991).
The stop release burst is circled and shown to be abstracted in a burst feature map or maps; F3 information is separately represented in an F3 feature map or maps; F2 onset and F2 vowel frequencies are shown as inputs to a map computing the feature "vowel-normalized F2 transition" (a locus equation representation).
The next hierarchical level is envisioned as a composite hyperspectrotopic representation of a phonological entity fed by lower maps with feature-specific coding.

In this section, we'll only consider those places that are relevant for English.
In the next section we'll see how these consonant phonemes are combined with the vowel phonemes we discussed earlier to form syllables and how languages resemble and differ from each other in how this is done.
As with vowels, a language may make fewer distinctions on a given dimension than other languages make.

 Articulation
In Ladefoged and Maddieson's framework (1996) the relation between a segment and types of phonetic variation is described by a set of features, whereas articulation denotes the supra-laryngeal activity.
This modification results in speech events which can be identified as vowels, consonants or other phonological units of a language.
Articulation is the term used for all actions of the organs of the vocal tract that effect modifications of the signal generated by the voice source.

These findings suggest that the listener's representation of phonetic form preserves not only categorical information, but also fine-grained information about the detailed acoustic-phonetic characteristics of the language.
In Experiment 1, we established this visual rate effect using auditory and visual stimuli matching in place of articulation, finding a shift in the voicing boundary along an auditory voice-onset-time (VOT) continuum with fast versus slow visual speech tokens.
The current investigation examines whether this type of perceptual remapping also occurs for another contextual variable, the place of articulation of the syllable-initial consonant.

 SP2004 Abstract: Kim et al.
In previous research evidence for the effects of stress and accent on phonetic variation is based on laboratory speech.
In addition, comparison of the patterns of accentual effects reveals that the effect on voicing cues has a pattern of paradigmatic strengthening and combined strengthening, resulting in enhancement of voicing contrasts while syntagmatic strengthening appears to be the main effect on acoustic cues for place of articulation.
In the present paper, we report on a study of the effects of accent on the acoustic cues for stop voicing and place of articulation in the speech of four announcers from the Boston University Radio News corpus.

The possible places of articulation form a continuum along the upper surface of the vocal tract; therefore the places listed above should be seen as arbritary (but conventional) divisions which can be modified if necessary through the use of additional categories, e.g., "interdental", "alveolo-palatal" or "prevelar".
The point of maximum constriction is made by the coming together of the two lips.

 Voice - Place - Manner of Articulation / Caroline Bowen
These places of articulation are cross referenced with the way, or manner in which the sounds are produced.
There are eight manners of articulation: plosive (or stop) consonants in which the air-flow is stopped abruptly by the articulators; nasals, in which the air flows down the nose; fricatives in which friction is created by the air passing through lightly touching articulators; and so on.
In the International Phonetic Alphabet consonant (pulmonic) chart you will see that eleven places of articulation are displayed: bilabial (consonants made with both lips in contact); labiodental (consonants made with contact between the lower lip and upper teeth); and so on.

 LabPhon 8 - Abstracts
On the other hand, the relative prominence of the regressive and progressive direction of assimilatory processes should be reconsidered in the light of a model of articulatory constraints.
Blending is obtained in clusters made out of two unconstrained consonants; it involves the summation of their alveolo-prepalatal closure or constriction contact areas (and may show some additional contact as well) rather than the formation of a single intermediate articulatory configuration, and may start at different times during the first half of C1.
Clusters with a highly constrained C1 and an unconstrained C2 generally exhibit C1-to-C2 frontward movement; moreover, while C1 does not change as a function of C2, there may be strong carryover retraction effects at the C2 place of articulation approaching progressive assimilation.

Perhaps one reason WDRC has had limited success in improving speech recognition performance is that the natural amplitude balances between consonant and vowel are altered in crucial frequency regions, thus disturbing the aforementioned amplitude cue for determining place of articulation.
