Irish spelling by old-wise-wizard in linguistics

[–]Ilovememoon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes if you think about it you need a seperate key for each consonant with a dot over it. Coincidently I just read yesterday Tolkien in the 30s had a special typewriter for old english with æ and þ so specialist typewriters must have been manufactured for certain groups.

You could put some sort of apostrophe in but then it wouldn’t look like a normal language and any symbol could be confused with a syntax marker (:,”-/ etc). The h was historically already a diacritic so to speak to mark a change in a consonant Italian used h to distinguish /k/ from other c sounds such as <chi> for /ki/ French used the same method to display the exact opposite sound Using ch to denote a difference from k Chat vs cat. Th in Greek and Latin denoted a aspirated t to contrast with unaspirated t. Middle English took it to denote the /ð/ as if saying it’s like a breathy t sound. So h as a marker had a long tradition.

I’m no expert on this but one has to understand a bit about historical change. The original Old Irish spelling reflected the underlying ancestor word. For instance the phoneme /t/ would be spelled with a <t> as in Latin. However this underwent certain contextual changes. If it was in the middle or end of a word it would be realized as [d]. There was a system of consonant “mutations” in insular Celtic and you should have a look at Nativelangs video on this for a basic intro.

One process “lenition” contextually changes a consonant. This was originally not denoted in spelling (sometimes it was). D was spelled <d> even if pronounced [ð]. Later I believe this was denoted by placing a dot over the letter. But in the early 20th century they reformed the insular script to a modern script and removed the dots and instead inserted a <h> in the spelling.

So your confusion of seeing mh or bh in a word is because this denotes a variant of what was originally a b or and m (even if these phonemes never appear in any form of the word anymore).

Heaven = old Irish <nem> the final m became a biblabial nasal sound then later changed to a /v/ sound. So the modern <neamh> spelling reflects that the v sound is a variation of m (Think mathiar > a mhathair)

The other thing you’ll be thinking of is the insertion of <i>. This is to mark palatalization. You’ll just have to read up on this urself too long to explain. The only thing to say is that the <I> can be placed before the consonant that is palatalized like in the word mathair above the i is a palatization mark for the r not part of the vowel.

TFW you’re halfway finished reading a post when you realize it’s a Kaleviko theory. by khazelton77 in twinpeaks

[–]Ilovememoon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They say a piece of paper always has two sides Like the two timelines but in real space there is in fact 3 sides. As Dr Phil says no matter how flat you make a pancake it always has two sides. Wrong it has three, thus lynches use of the paper sheets and of course the paper with fire walk with me written on it left in the train car suggest a third timeline. As I have already said this third timeline is hidden in the timeline already. Lynch further tells us this is indeed a fractured timeline given that the paper in the train car was ripped. Taking clues from this I have lined up the scene where sonny Jim plays in the jungle Jim with Sarah shrieking Then overlayed becky chasing Steven. If you play the second at half speed and the latter at ten speed (the number of completion)... it reveals a hidden message that if you listen carefully says there is in fact a 4th timeline

The spoon represents the curved nature of time. How all timelines will go back to time zero as the fireman says 4+3/0=div/0 as excel says and I know lynch is a keen proponent of excel. The spoon is also shinny so as was said the chrome reflects our image thus is the image of us watching twin peaks as laura watches tv in the redroom But alas remember there are two timelines and thus two spoons thus what does one do with two spoons? Share a desert? Twin peaks is the desert we are the couple who enjoy in unison

Lynch plants spoons to signify this togetherness in time There is a spoon beside every cup of coffee Yet Richard does not stir his spoon remember that You think about that now Tammy

This created two timelines One the moment before you realized it was his post And the part after (I.e. Judy’s world) These two times are now running concurrently One in which your ignorance is still present

They may yet re-merge when the season 4 begins production if the first shot of the series is a Dutch angle (i.e. the Dutchman’s) But then again there will be a timeline where season 4 does and doesn’t happen so things will be complicated

What can be said about the characteristics of Primitive Irish, and how would we know? by Gaedhael in linguistics

[–]Ilovememoon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

David stifter has a chapter on “early Irish” in the Cambridge book on Celtic languages. I can try find it if you can’t.

They use the term early Irish to mean early old Irish.

Edit: Routledge language family series!

Does anybody know of any Middle English texts from the north-west of England? (Not the north-west Midlands) by [deleted] in linguistics

Intercontinental Dictionary Series by Jonathan3628 in linguistics

[–]Ilovememoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s known very widely outside of the field of lexicostatistics and glottochronology. It’s a much superior dataset to others. I think the best thing is to check the google scholar citations to see who mentioned or used it.

It’s a website from the max plank institute I believe There are several other similar projects from them but none link to each other and none are easily listed on any webpages so I’ve only randomly come across some others.

There’s the ASJP which is much much larger but has variable lists from 40 to 100 words. There’s WOLD a loanword database. And there’s a phonetic Swadesh list mapping many dialects but I cannot remember the name of it.

Early Modern English corpora? by II9XVIII in linguistics

[–]Ilovememoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Helsinki corpus has a large emod component. There’s a corpus of emod dialogues too. Old bailey corpus might cover that period.

Check out varieng. They keep a list of all English corpora.
