Thus, QJOICD. Inour pronunciation of the word the point of the tongue is notremoved from the upper gum between the positions for / and n,ajOCD. The point-shut position is common to the two sounds soft palate is closed against the back of the pharynx (D) duringthe production of the / and drops (D) during the production of the 82 n (see dotted lines in Figure i6), thus allowing the voice to passthrough the Fig. i6. Aftion of the soft palate in foiming tii (DCC) in cotton. First Position. 0+0=: D Second Position. C4-D=C5 D + (Dq=OC5 Repeat the sound of tn a number of times without voice(DDODDCJ, etc.), and you will feel that the whole action consists inthe alternate elevation and depression of the soft palate [DCDC etc].The point of the tongue is not moved at all, but is shut continuouslyagainst the upper gum. DC50CJOC5=D+(acacaC, etc.). There is only one point-shut position. Now, such an aftionpresents no difficulty to a child who has been taught to elevate anddepress his soft palate at will, but does present enormous difficultiesto one who has not, for the whole adion is invisible. All you cando in such a case is to use symbols, and show that the shut-position(D) of / (D>) is alone assumed, followed by CC (//) without movingthe tongue.
