Nasal emission is never audible on which of the following types of speech sounds?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nasal emission is caused by improper closure of the velopharyngeal port, which leads to air escaping through the nasal cavity during speech. Vowels do not involve any closure of the oral cavity or the velopharyngeal port, and therefore cannot produce nasal emission. Affricates, fricatives and plosives all involve some level of closure of the oral cavity and are more likely to produce nasal emission if the velopharyngeal port is not functioning properly.
