How to use "Plosive" in context?
Plosives are speech sounds that are made with a quick expulsion of air from the lungs. The airstream moves the vocal cords together much like the action of squirting water from a hose. There are five main categories of plosives: affricates, sonorants, fricatives, sibilants, and labiovelars.
