Noun
plosion
- (phonetics) Pronunciation of a consonant that is characterised by completely blocking the flow of air through the mouth.
- 1923, Michael V. Trofimov, Daniel Jones, The pronunciation of Russian
- In Russian, nasal plosion is confined to cases where both the plosive and the nasal consonant have the same primary articulation. In English, however, nasal plosion occurs also in such groups as kn, tm (as in Hackney ['haekni], utmost [ˈʌtmoʊst]).
- 1956, Daniel Jones, The pronunciation of English page 121
- Plosive consonants are sometimes not fully articulated ; under certain conditions they may be reduced to stops only, without plosions. This generally happens in English when a plosive is immediately followed by another plosive.
