Talk:Alveolo-palatal consonant

thread_title:  sound 

message: The terminology follows the following pattern: palato-alveolar (such as [ʃ ʒ]) because it's weakly palatalized, unlike alveolo-palatal (such as [ɕ ʑ]) which is strongly palatalized) --Backinstadiums (talk) 17:30, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Back vowel

message: Will an editor explain how a sound can be 'dark'. It is describing a sound in terms of light. Admittedly they are both types of radiation; so is it something to do with wavelength or frequency? It is true that in English, people can also talk of 'loud' colours. But neither metaphor seems particular scientific or academic. Ackees (talk) 10:25, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Just as you said, it's a metaphor. Just like a clarinet might sound "woody," or a poem might sound "violent," euphonic interpretation often takes terms from other fields to describe the subject. It is not a statement of scientific quality; it is a statement of personal interpretation. In this case, a culture might collectively determine that back vowels might sound "dark," just like Americans believe that an accent from the South sounds "twangy." Don't take it too seriously.

Talk:Breathy voice

message: "Proto-Indo-European is traditionally reconstructed with a breathy-voiced series of consonants, but no aspirates. This typologically highly unusual situation, attested only in Kelabit in Borneo, has caused historical linguists to look for other possibilities."
This is factually wrong. According to Robert Blust, Kelabit voiced aspirates are NOT breathy-voiced stops, but fully voiced stops sometimes realized with a secondary voiceless release followed by aspiration. N.B., some authors propose the same thing for PIE, to account for voiceless reflexes of the aspirate series.201.37.78.132 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 16:34, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Error 

message: Voice Quality Symbols contrasts "murmured" with "breathy", but links each to this article. Here, the two appear to be distinguihed by the following definitions:  
;murmur (breathy voice): "the vocal folds vibrate, as they do in normal (modal) voicing, but are adjusted to let more air escape."
;whispery voice (=VoQS murmur): "The vocal folds [...] vibrate⸂s⸃, as in modal voice, but the arytenoid cartilages are held apart to allow a large turbulent airflow between them."
These two appear to mean the same. Or is there any way in which the vocal folds can be "adjusted to let more air escape" without relaxing the arytenoid cartilages? (Arytenoid muscle defines its action as "The Arytœnoideus approximates the arytenoid cartilages, and thus closes the aperture of the glottis, [...].") ◄ Sebastian 13:17, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Central consonant

message: Are central consonants ever referred to as "medial"? This article used to give that as an alternative name: the mention was added by  in 2004  and removed by  in 2012 , though there remained the corresponding entry at the dab page Medial. This meaning of "medial" isn't found in any of the dictionaries I consulted, and I'm having trouble locating any use on the web. Has anyone seen it used like that? – Uanfala (talk) 05:47, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know about medial, but median certainly seems to have some users. See e.g. Routledge Dictionary of Language and Linguistics (2006, p. 736). The second edition of Phonetic Symbol Guide also adopts the term and even explains the decision in the preface (p. xxxiv):the term median has been substituted for central wherever it refers to the defining property of nonlateral consonants ... leaving central to refer unambiguously to the halfway point in the front/back vowel quality dimensionNardog (talk) 07:03, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

message: I've restored the reference to "Yanto" Jones in Mine All Mine; IMDb doesn't seem to have incidental characters listed for this series, but TV.com does, and mentions the role.  Also, this Google cache from a production GD-L was in at Hampstead Theatre lists "Mine All Mine" among his theatre work.

replies: text: Hmm... here's another source that gives "Yanto", but I'm not sure how reliable it is.  Red Production Company's "Mine All Mine" page doesn't give cast listings, and ITV doesn't seem to have a page for the programme any more.

Talk:Coarticulation

message: The subject of coarticulation is a really big one in phonetics, and it has dominated speech production research and theory-making for decades. This treatment is, therefore, really disappointing. For a start, there is only a single reference at the end of the article, and that is to a book on historical linguistics, so the few generalizations made about the topic are completely unsupported. The text implies that coarticulation is only concerned with the influence of a single segment upon another single segment, whereas one of the most interesting things that coarticulation research has shown is how its effects can spread over many segments. We get a list of names of different coarticulation theories with no explanation of what they are, and the first bullet point in the discussion of the topic only mentions assimilation of place. The reader is given no guidance on the relationship between assimilation and coarticulation.  RoachPeter (talk) 08:55, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  OUTLINE 

message: Copied from Live Page.
The Ohlone (Costanoan) are the indigenous people who lived since 500 AD in the region of the San Francisco Bay, from Carquinez Strait south to the Salinas Valley. Although these people spoke closely related languages, they lived in several dozen distinct villages, and village groups, and did not traditionally see themselves as one group of people. 
The Spanish explorers referred to the native groups of this region collectively as the Costeños (the "coastal people") circa 1769. Over time, the English-speaking settlers Anglicized the word into the name of Costanoan.Teixeira, 1997  For many years, the people were called the Costanoans in English language and records.  However, since the 1960s the term Ohlone, has been formally extended to mean the same group of indigenous people, often used to replace the term Costanoan.
Some of the native people prefer to keep the name Costanoan, or to revitalize the word Muwekma, the word for the people in their native languages of East Bay Chocheño and Tamyen.
:My comments: (1) "several dozen" means 24 or 36 tops that is WAY too few - go back to "over 50"  (2) add "North America" (for context outside of California and outside of USA) (3) consider using "Native American" it's very well defined on Wiki and more specific. (4) on regions add back Santa Cruz Mountains and Monterey Bay areas. The SC mountauns if you read that page do not consider themselves part of either Bay Areas. Otherwise.... above is fine with me !

Talk:Voiced labial–palatal approximant

message: I have never heard of the labial-palatal approximant as a phoneme in the Swedish language. (Also I am a native Swedish speaker.) On the talk page of the Swedish phonology article though, I read that one person mentions that the close front rounded vowel followed by the labial-palatal approximant "is a not uncommon realization of /y:/". However, it is my opinion that the fact that this pronunciation is limited to only some of the Swedish dialects, and that it has no significance on the phonemic level, makes the Swedish occurrence example a poor one. Compare with the French example, where the labial-palatal approximant is both present in the standard dialect, and considered a distinct phoneme.
I do realize that even though the consonant is a dialectal realization and also not a phoneme it may be an useful example—provided that more information can be found in the Swedish phonology article (which, for example, is the case for the article about the voiced retroflex plosive). To summarize, I removed the example due to two things: It's not a Swedish phoneme (and not as distinctive as, for example, the Swedish retroflex realisations of the dental consonants) and its occurrence is not mentioned in the Swedish phonology article. Please reply if you disagree about the removal. Raekmannen (talk) 01:19, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
