“ai” comes together to create along A sound. However, vowel teams aren’t always predictable. Take the wordread—the “ea” vowel team can make either a long or short sound depending on the context, like in “I will read” (long A) versus “I have read” (short A). Tricky, but...
In some languages (such as Dutch), speakers produce duration differences between vowels, but it is unclear whether they also encode short versus long speech sounds into different phonological categories. To examine whether they have representations for 'short' versus 'long' contrasts, we assessed ...
Within- and between-series contrast in vowel identification: Full-vowel versus single-formant anchors Subjects identified vowels from a [I]-[蔚] continuum in both an equiprobable control condition and an anchored condition in which one stimulus (the anchor) occurred four times as often as any ...
But this history lesson gives more credence to its use in that context versus any other. Gordon Barlow | February 13, 2014 at 3:20 pm | Reply “It has never made sense to me that the curse-word fuck was somehow related to the word for sexual intercourse. Of course it’s not ...
spectral peaks and notches of the context emphasizing /I/ such that listeners were more likely to hear target vowels as /ε/. Kiefte and Kluender (2008) designed stimuli to assess relative contributions of spectrally global (spectral tilt) versus local (spectral peak) characteristics of a ...
And eventually, just the X is used as a short-hand for the whole thing, as more obscurity slips in. The OED cites the first use of X in Christmas in 1551 by which time I imagine it’s long lost its symbolic power, particularly as, as the previous example shows, even in the sixteen...
It can be concluded that due to the lack of haste, Amanda was attentive and did not confuse words with short vowels with words with long vowels. However, as the speed increased, the errors grew. Attention should be paid to her pronunciation of vowels such as A, I, and E. The child ...
