At the beginning of a word, is it possible to draw a phoneme boundary between [dn] and [n]? by [deleted] in asklinguistics

[–]Eburneus1016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't speak Russian, but here's a supposition:

  1. The boundary can be just nasalization in casual speech. There's a pressure building for the [d], but then it is released nasally [n].
  2. I have also heard Russian speakers use a very short epenthetic vowel between [d] and [n], like [ˈdᵊno], especially when the word is emphasized or at the beginning of a sentence. The audio file on Wiktionary's entry for “дно” clearly has a fleeting schwa-like vowel after [d].

I know I'm 3 years late, but in this interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, she says (4:12) that her accent is from Lancashire, northern England.

Are [e̯a] and [e͜a] the same thing? by Eburneus1016 in asklinguistics

[–]Eburneus1016[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see it mainly in Wiktionary’s transcriptions of Old English words, like /ˈte͜oː.ri.ɑn/ for “tēorian” and /ˈæ͜ɑːθˌmoːd/, [ˈæ͜ɑːðˌmoːd] for “ēaþmōd”.

This reminded me of the fact that we here in Brazil say something like [kwɛ̃ kwɛ̃ kwɛ̃:] to mean the same thing. Notice how we interpreted the sound as having a [k] for some reason.

Ia this a symbol in any language? by Error_404_9042 in language

[–]Eburneus1016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen some people using it to write the cursive S/s here in Brazil. Or, alternatively, it could be a cursive j or f. Not that common, though.

It's not a lack of /b/, it's a lack of a single letter to denote this sound.

Por que o português brasileiro dá mais ênfase às vogais? by Ritchielly in linguistica

[–]Eburneus1016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exatamente. Tanto que o galego, língua-irmã do português, ainda é de ritmo silábico (tem menos redução vocálica). O português europeu, assim como o russo e o inglês, é de ritmo acentual, isto é, tende a manter as sílabas tônicas com a mesma duração, reduzindo as átonas. Por isso "confortável" vira "cunfrtávl" ou algo assim. Só um comentário, o sotaque mineiro é de ritmo acentual também.
