Plosive Consonants

Plosive consonants (also stop consonants) are pronounced by blocking the air with the place of articulation in the mouth and with the soft palate in the nose, pushing the diaphragm to create an air pressure, and then opening the place of articulation and releasing the air through the mouth. One of the prominent features of plosive consonants is that they can't be lengthened by keeping releasing the air, because their sound occours only when starting releasing them.
