The voiceless alveolar fricatives are a type of fricative consonant pronounced with the tip or blade of the tongue against the alveolar ridge (gum line) just behind the teeth. This refers to a class of sounds, not a single sound. There are at least six types with significant perceptual differences:
The voiceless alveolar sibilant [s] is one of the most common sounds cross-linguistically. If a language has fricatives, it will most likely have [s].[2] However, some languages have a related sibilant sound, such as [ʃ], but no [s]. In addition, sibilants are absent from Australian Aboriginal languages, in which fricatives are rare; even the few indigenous Australian languages that have fricatives do not have sibilants.[citation needed]
The voiceless alveolar retracted sibilant (commonly termed the voiceless apico-alveolar sibilant) is a fricative that is articulated with the tongue in a hollow shape, usually with the tip of the tongue (apex) against the alveolar ridge. It is a sibilant sound and is found most notably in a number of languages in a linguistic area covering northern and central Iberia. It is most well known from its occurrence in the Spanish of this area. In the Middle Ages, it occurred in a wider area, covering Romance languages spoken throughout France, Portugal, and Spain, as well as Old High German and Middle High German.
In Romance languages, it occurs as the normal voiceless alveolar sibilant in Astur-Leonese, Castilian Spanish, Catalan, Galician, northern European Portuguese, and some Occitan dialects. It also occurs in Basque and Mirandese, where it is opposed to a different voiceless alveolar sibilant, the more common [s]; the same distinction occurs in a few dialects of northeastern Portuguese. Outside this area, it also occurs in a few dialects of Latin American Spanish (e.g. Antioqueño and Pastuso, in Colombia).
One of the clearest descriptions of this sound is from Obaid:[5] "There is a Castilian s, which is a voiceless, concave, apicoalveolar fricative: The tip of the tongue turned upward forms a narrow opening against the alveoli of the upper incisors. It resembles a faint /ʃ/ and is found throughout much of the northern half of Spain".
A voiceless laminal dental or dentialveolar sibilant contrasts with a voiceless apical alveolar or post-alveolar sibilant in Basque and several languages of California, including Luiseño of the Uto-Aztecan family and Kumeyaay of the Yuman family.
The term "voiceless alveolar sibilant" is potentially ambiguous in that it can refer to at least two different sounds. Various languages of northern Iberia (e.g., Astur-Leonese, Catalan, Basque, Galician, Portuguese and Spanish) have a so-called "voiceless apico-alveolar sibilant" that lacks the strong hissing of the [s] described in this article but has a duller, more "grave" sound quality somewhat reminiscent of a voiceless retroflex sibilant. Basque, Mirandese and some Portuguese dialects in northeast Portugal (as well as medieval Spanish and Portuguese in general) have both types of sounds in the same language.
Few languages also have the voiceless alveolar tapped fricative, which is simply a very brief apical alveolar non-sibilant fricative, with the tongue making the gesture for a tapped stop but not making full contact. This can be indicated in the IPA with the lowering diacritic to show full occlusion did not occur.[85]
Upholding human rights by defending religious freedom is not incompatible with following the way of the cross when confronted with persecution. There is no contradiction between being willing personally to suffer the abuse or loss of our own rights for the sake of Christ, and being committed to advocate and speak up for those who are voiceless under the violation of their human rights. We must also distinguish between advocating the rights of people of other faiths and endorsing the truth of their beliefs. We can defend the freedom of others to believe and practise their religion without accepting that religion as true.

Non-voicing is basically silence, and doesn't show up as anything in aspectrogram. So while there isn't a lot going on during silence that we cansee in a spectrogram, we can still tell the difference between voiced sounds(with a striated voicing bar) and voiceless sounds (without). And usually there's still air moving through the vocal tract, which can provide analternative source of acoustic energy, via turbulence or 'noise'.
Plosives (oral stops) involve a total occlusion of the vocal tract, and thus a 'complete' filter, i.e. no resonances being contributed by the vocal tract. The result a period of silence in the spectrogram,known as a 'gap'. A voiced plosive may have a low-frequency voicing barof striations, usually thought of as the sound of voicing being transmitted through the flesh of the vocal tract. However, due to passive devoicing,it may not. And due to perseverative voicing even a 'voiceless' plosive may show some vibration as the pressures equalize and before the vocal folds fully separate. But let's not get lost in too many details.
Let's start with the sibilants "s" and "sh", in the upper right of Figure 5.They are by far the loudest fricatives. The darkest part of [s] noise is off thetop of the spectrograms, even though these spectrograms have a greater frequencyrange than the others on this page. [s] is centered (darkest) above 8000 Hz. Thepostalveolar "sh", on the other hand, while almost as dark, has most of its energyconcentrated in the F3-F4 range. Often, [s]s will have noise at all frequencies,where, as here, the noise for [ʃ] seems to drop offdrastically below the peak (i.e. there's sometimes no noise below 1500 or 2000Hz.) [z] and [ʒ] are distinguished from their voiceless counterparts by a)lesser amplitude of frication, b) shorter duration of frication and c) a voicingbar across the bottom. (Remember, however, that a lot of underlyingly voicedfricatives in English have voiceless allophones. What other cues are there tounderlying voicing? Discuss.) Take a good look at the voicing bar through thefricatives in the bottom row. You may never see a fully voiced fricative from meagain.
Note that for both proper plosives, there's a longish period of relative silence(with a voicing bar in the case of /d/), on the order a 100 ms. The actual lengthvaries a lot, but notice how short the 'closure' of the flapped case is incomparison. It's just a slight 'interruption' of the normal flow, a momentarything, not something that looks very forceful or controlled. It doesn't evenreally have any transitions of its own. The interruption is something on the orderof three pulses long, between 10 and 30 ms. That's basically the biggest thing.Sometimes they're longer, sometimes they're voiceless (occasionally evenaspirated), but basically a flap will always be significantly shorter than acorresponding plosive.
Western social science has documented a long tradition of western media representing Arab women as passive and voiceless, yet there has been little research studying how Arab women are represented in Arab media. In research funded by the Qatar National Research Fund using DocuScope, researchers found that at least some liberal Arab media outlets based in London do represent Arab women in more complex ways. The study was published in a book titled Arab Women in Arab News: Old Stereotypes and New Media (Bloomsbury) in 2012. 2ff7e9595c
