Anterior consonant

In featural phonology, anterior consonants refer to consonants with their place of articulation at or in front of the alveolar ridge.[1][2]

Historically, linguists had considered the class to include labial, dental, and alveolar consonants,[3][1] but modern terminology excludes labials, making [± anterior] a distinctive feature solely within coronal consonants.[4][5] By contrast, the remaining coronals, those being postalveolar and retroflex, are nonanterior consonants (as well as palatals, if considered to be coronal).[3][6]

Nonanteriors may also be called posterior consonants,[1][7] though the latter term is also used more specifically to refer to consonants produced at or behind the hard palate, thus including dorsal and laryngeal consonants.[8] Occasionally, retroflex consonants may be excluded from both the anterior and posterior classes.[9]
