Original – An Euler diagram showing the relationship between manners of articulation
Reason
Manners of articulation and distinctive features can be difficult concepts for students to understand, particularly because of the complex set relationships between categories. The nominated diagram does a superb job of illustrating these relationships between different classes of sounds demonstrating its encyclopedic value as an elegant summation of a complex topic, and as such represents the best work the encyclopedia has to offer on illustrating manners of articulation. It is of high technical quality; the colors represent relationships between categories (related categories have similar colors) and the use of a pastel palette prevents the colors from drawing focus away from the information or associated article. The information is well referenced and the file description is highly informative. The content is based on three major textbooks in the linguistic subfield of phonology, and while it uses tertiary sources for its content, the file description explains how primary sources may diverge from this standard in particular instances. As an SVG it is scalable to any size (helpful for use outside the encyclopedia, for example, on teaching slides), and it is formatted in such a way that it can be easily translated for multilingual use.
