Oh well. We haven't gotten to "bonus laryngeal contractions" yet, though. :-)Tandavahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00180822287717157663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4003239.post-1096489730888398502004-09-29T13:28:00.000-07:002004-09-29T13:28:00.000-07:00Yay IPA!

We did some work in IPA in the collaborative piano classes I took, and that and having a mother who studied drama has given me a little familiarity with it. I *think* that the a of pat is flatter (use your best Wiscansin accent, or think of a duck quacking) and the a of pass is a more aerated, but I'm not sure. While you're struggling with that I'll be trying to practice the difference in pronunciation between an aleph (a glottal stop) and an ayin (another glottal stop, but with a bonus laryngeal contraction...or something). It takes a while, but that's what showers are for.Miriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09859129184545228138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4003239.post-1096428639144450002004-09-28T20:30:00.000-07:002004-09-28T20:30:00.000-07:00I have to memorize all the symbols and sounds of t...I have to memorize all the symbols and sounds of the IPA for my linguistics class this quarter. Funny coincidence that we both run into it at the same time. :) I'm glad the class looks like it's going to be fun. You can have some of my course readings if you're feeling deprived. :PLaceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11142106832357626301noreply@blogger.com
