In phonetics , a continuant is a speech sound produced without a complete closure in the oral cavity . By one definition, continuant is a distinctive feature that refers to any sound produced with an incomplete closure of the vocal tract, thus encompassing all sounds (including vowels ) except stops , affricates and nasals .[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] consonantal sounds produced with an incomplete closure of the oral cavity, prototypically approximants and fricatives ,[6] [7] trills .[8]
Compare sonorants (resonants), a class of speech sounds which includes vowels, approximants and nasals (but not fricatives), and contrasts with obstruents .
