Psychology Terms - Affricate
An affricate is a complex consonant spoken sound characterized by the articulation of a plosive immediately followed by a fricative at the same point of articulation. English possesses two affricate phonemes: the initial and final sounds in "church," representing the voiceless affricate, and the initial and final phonemes in "judge," denoting the voiced affricate.
