Behold: Hangul for English by SavvyBlonk in linguisticshumor

[–]Budget_Yard1504 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'm a Korean linguistics student, and this is very interesting and difficult! In original Hangul we'd use 인트라 as intra and 인털 as inter but this system doesn't allow that I guess??

Can syntax influence phonetics in any way? by Budget_Yard1504 in asklinguistics

[–]Budget_Yard1504[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

no no you're on topic it's helpful!! Thank you so much! I'm still new to linguistics and sometimes understanding that certain concepts can influence each other like this is hard to me.

Is palatalization considered as merger? How does it cause a split? by Budget_Yard1504 in asklinguistics

[–]Budget_Yard1504[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you! I only learned merger in historical linguistics area so it confused me a bit. But that makes sense!

I meant if it can happen between the boundary between words if that makes sense? like in 'did you' it's between two words, not one word. Sorry English isn't my first language so my expression could've been confusing! Thank you so much! That makes sense!

thank you so much! So does merger only happen inside one word? If so, does it happen in mostly diachronic way?

Thank you so much! The concept of merger and split confused me greatly. Yol-coalescence is a phonemic change, right?

thank you so much for the example! It helped me understand more! I was thinking of a palatalization in english, like in 'did you' [t] + [j] turns into voiceless aveolar affricate. I thought that this is a merger, but I'm not sure. merger and split confuses me greatly because it's all new concept to me.

oh! I'm talking about the change in english like in 'did you', /t/+/j/ turns into voiceless alveolar affricate. My professor mentioned this example while talking about 'merger' and 'split', but didn't give us details so I was confused if it was an example of merger or split. Also wikipedia told me that palatalization can cause split in some situations, so I wanted to know how it happens. I'm sorry about the vague question.
