“This approximation was justified by the argument that the relative lengths of any two segments are only very weakly correlated.”

“What he is talking about is not an approximation to the Golden Mean.”

“As the titles suggest, the two workshops focus on approximation algorithms and randomization.”

“When an approximant articulation occurs at the same time as another articulation is being made at a different place in the vocal tract, the approximant is said to form a secondary articulation.”

“There are six basic manners of articulation that can be used at these places of articulation: stop, fricative, approximant, trill, tap, and lateral.”

“In clusters, the preaspiration merges with a preceding nasal or apical approximant, rendering them voiceless.”

“Since the algebraic expressions for the roots z are rather complicated, we use numerical approximations from here on.”

“The first book studies generating functions and also approximations to various expressions occurring in probability theory.”

“Appropriate transformations resulted in reasonable approximations of the data to normality.”

“Many aboriginal Australian languages have a series of three or four lateral approximants, as do various dialects of Irish.”

“The consonants in the words we and you are examples of approximants.”

“Tamil consonants are presented as hard, soft and medial in some grammars which roughly corresponds to plosives, nasals and approximants.”
