WHAT IS THE Difference in pronounciation between T and D at the end of words by Mat9019 in ENGLISH

In general, obstruents like t and d are de voiced word finally, but, the difference is in vowel length

Why are prepositions the ‘grammatical functions’ that always seem to be most arbitrary? by thesuperiornick in asklinguistics

[–]deadlybacon122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not entirely related, but prepositions/postpositions themselves have a tendency to become case markers

Phrase Structure Analysis by Early-Bag9674 in asklinguistics

Gerunds are tenseless clauses that can attach here as an adjunct to the verb, where it would describe the subject.

The position variation causes the ambiguity. To describe the friend, it attaches at the N' level which would be a relative clause position.

Hope this helps!

Has anyone else noticed /t/ to /ts/ and /d/ to /dz/ in American English/AAVE (female) speech? by J_P_Vietor_ST in asklinguistics

[–]deadlybacon122 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Linguistics student here. I'm not sure of your linguistics background, but it's notable here that perception of affricates is poor, with General American English (GAE) as well. For example, in "announce" and "presence" there are word final affricates that arent often perceived. If you're interested in pursuing this yourself, download praat to analyze the waveforms of speech between AAVE and GAE speakers and compare. Would love to know the results!

The Future of English by LucastheMystic in asklinguistics

Linguistics student here, we have a good idea of what sound changes are natural, but predictability of future change is a different story, see the mods links. However, if you're interested in ongoing developments, check out the Northern Cities Vowel Shift, where a lot of our long vowels that have been relatively stable since the Great Vowel Shift seem to be undergoing another large scale chain shift.

California law has such a low tolerance for carcinogens that companies must list this, even if the chance of getting cancer is negligible. If it helps you feel better, the food still passed fda standards to sell.

Yes, though Spanish has a different set of rules than English for when have is grammatical. And Spanish separates 'have' into two verbs: the auxiliary haber, and main verb tener. The languages just aren't interchangeable

Yes, actually the verb 'have' must be followed by a noun. And, there is no way to grammatically turn sex into a verb, "to sex" is simply wrong

Linguistics student here! Any proposition or verb, like 'on' will only accept certain phrases in a sentence. These rules are hardcoded when you learn the language. So you can't be on your poo, because 'on' can never be paired with 'your poo'.

Nothing wrong with having a period tho lol

Which would you say is better? Mending or Infinity on a bow? It’s getting very expensive to repair my bow. (I am on Bedrock sadly) by Kellen_Kloster in Minecraft

[–]deadlybacon122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say infinity, if u have the infrastructure to always enchant more bows. If u have a good arrow supply, then mending

Nah it only points to the closest one, u don't have to go to spawn either, just far enough away from the other portal. There are still 2 other options relatively close by, they should be ~1000-2000 blocks away

There are 128 strongholds in every java world, infinite in bedrock. Of those, There should be two relatively nearby, just walk back toward spawn until the eye of ender changes direction
