State the distinctive feature between consonants: dʒ and tʃ, give examples for illustration
Answer:
– [dʒ] is a lenis voiced affricative consonant. Between vowels, [dʒ] is normally voiced, in final position it is very weak and short. It lengthens the vowel before it.
– [tʃ ] is a fortis voiceless affricative consonant. Between vowels it is still voiceless, in final position it is strong and voiceless and it shortens the vowel before it./.
