Okay, this might be a dumb question, but how do you know whether a font supports the phonetic alphabet?

#phonetic #alphabet

Er hat mir das #natoalphabet vor 22 Jahren übrigens so lange beigebracht bis ich im Schlaf so buchstabieren konnte.

In case you're curious about how to train a #phonetic #corpus using #Kaldi (https://kaldi-asr.org/), I humbly recommend Prof. Dr. @echodroff (https://eleanorchodroff.com/tutorial/index.html) course. Simply amazing!

My latest #phonetic transcription is the name of Tallon #Griekspoor, a tennis player who won his first ATP Tour singles title today: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tallon_Griekspoor

The last name is pretty straightforward to transcribe if you speak Dutch. But ‘Tallon’ is not a traditional Dutch name, so it could be anything in terms of pronunciation. I found a cute video from 2010 where Tallon Griekspoor, 13 years old then, pronounces his own name. So now we know, it is:

/ˈtɛlɔn ˈɣrik.spoːr/

#IPA #Phonetics

I did not want to keep on using #Duolingo, so I was looking for a new pastime, something that can be done on the phone and only takes a couple of minutes. Here is what I am doing now:

I have started adding #phonetic transcriptions to Wikipedia. There are decent guidelines and templates for many languages. And Gboard has a virtual keyboard that can be used for entering #IPA symbols.

This is my track record so far: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Isoglosse

Suggestions and comments welcome!

How do you describe how your #name is #pronounced?

#Assimil in their language courses (that I consider excellent, EXCEPT for this one feature), write it in the source language, which you may or may not find helpful.

The #international #phonetic #alphabet #IPA is universal, but difficult to write. Maybe you can find your name on #wiktionary as individual words with #pronunciation.

Had fun playing with mine on http://ipa-reader.xyz/. Most languages (except for Japanese) sound right!

Looks like the #phonetic alphabet has changed 🤔😂

I suddenly realized that I have no idea how ppl show (or used to show) non-native #accents in written #English. Is it even possible? I mean, in a language with strict #phonetic writing, it's relatively trivial: you won't be able to change the quality fo sound, but say, if a speaker consistently uses "sh" instead of an "s", you can at least reflect that.

But what to do in English? Say, is it possible to write with #French accent in English? It it possible to "encode" at least some of the vowels?

Spotted "time is ripe" in #XMen c1966. My instinct has always been to say "time is right", and indeed this appears to be a relatively recent shift in #AmericanEnglish #literature (https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=time+is+right%2Ctime+is+ripe&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&corpus=28&smoothing=3). But, is this a #phonetic change, a #semantic change, or both?

#introduction post:

I’m a PhD candidate in #linguistics at #ubc. I mostly do #phonology and often ask questions from from the perspectives of #historicallinguistics and #sociolinguistics.

My main interests are Salish languages, non-concatenative #morphology , sub-phonemic (phonological structure and #phonetic variation), and #reduplication.

Outside of my work - I love #medieval and postmodern #literature.

Dangnabit, tried speaking #French on the phone with a Hispanophone, they immediately heard my Spanish accent, so asked me to speak Spanish.

I mean, fine, okay, but what am I doing wrong?

I theoretically have enough #phonetic knowledge to know how to get rid of my accent. It's just difficult to spontaneously produce the necessary speech.

I wish for more formal training with someone who can recognise my speech patterns. I know it's almost "impossible" to get rid of an accent, but I wanna try!
