Hmm. Strange. I CAN hear the difference between French |s| (which is the
same as in Russian) and Spanish |s| (which is the same as in English). And I
clearly perceive French (and Russian) |s| as dental, and English (and
Spanish) one as alveolar. Can it be a case of disagreement in *terms*
between different linguistic schools? For the Russian school (acc. to
Dr.Scherba) says that [T] and [s_d] constitute *different* POAs! [T] is NOT
dental acc. to Dr.Scherba! It's *inter*-dental, while [s_d] is
"front-tongue". "Front-tongue" consonants may have "additional
articulations": dental (as basic one), alveolar, postalveolar,
alveolopalatal.
