WHAT DOES SULCAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Sulcalization

In phonetics, sulcalization is the pronunciation of a sound, typically a sibilant consonant such as English /s/ and /z/, with a deep groove running along the back of the tongue that focuses the airstream on the teeth, producing a more intense sound. This is accomplished by raising the sides of the back of the tongue and leaving a hollow along the mid-line. It is not clear if all sibilants are grooved in this manner; Catford observed that the degree of sulcalization differs between places of articulation as well as between languages, but no language is known to contrast a grooved and non-grooved sibilant. English, which allows various tongue positions without apparent distinction, may also receive its characteristic quality from being sulcal. In phonology and historical linguistics, sulcalization is the development of such a groove in a non-sulcal consonant. For example, close vowels trigger this effect in Japanese, where historical *tu and *ti have become and, respectively, as well as in languages such as Senoufo. Vowels may also be sulcalized, which has been described as giving them a "throaty" sound.
