this term is a system used to classify sounds by how they are produced. With consonants refers to the spot of most constriction when the consonant is produced. It pays particular attention to where the constriction occurs and to what extent. (Ex. Central closure= laterals, two articulators close together= fricatives). Vowels are classified by the height of the tongue and position of the lips.
