APPROXIMANT, also continuant. In
PHONETICS, a sound, usually a
CONSONANT, with a manner of articulation more open than a stop or fricative, as in the /r/ of
rink compared with the /z/ of
zinc. Approximants are normally voiced (/r/ after /d/ as in
drink), but are often devoiced after a voiceless stop or a fricative (/r/ after /t/ as in
trinket). The increased flow of air that results from the devoicing produces noise similar to that of a fricative. The set of approximants includes
LIQUIDS,
NASALS, and
GLIDES.
