There are even more places of articulation! This video focuses on the most common ones found on the IPA chart. Do you want to hear more about the less common ones? Share your opinion in the comments!
You can find a video about affixes on the channel right here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YVWM9I3Mcts.html I hope this helps you! :)
Good explanation of the differences between phonetics and phonology, thanks. But about the glottal stop in English, you say that it’s never found with consonants. But can’t we say that it is a consonant itself, or it “replaces” other consonants, in some dialects such as Cockney (waʔer = water) or American (oh no you diʔn’t = didn’t) or most dialects at the end of words like import ʔ (important) and cert ʔ (certain)…:?
That is actually an interesting point you bring up here, I never actively thought about this! First of all: Me saying that it is *never* found with consonants is actually wrong, I am sorry on that! It IS found in combination with consonants. I have to correct myself there. The glottal stop definitely is a consonantal sound that is used in English, but it is mostly used as an allophone of for example /t/ as in "water" in some dialects (T-glottalization), as you said, and it's used in other scenarios as well, but to my knowledge it doesn't act as a phoneme of its own in English as it isn't used to distinguish between words; it just appears sometimes as an allophone. Though, I might be wrong on that. I am not an expert in dialects of English and I could imagine that there might be some dialect where the glottal stop is actually its own phoneme. Corrections on that are welcome!
That really is the part that takes the longest time! In the past, I did think about creating a tool to help create words with given rules as for example which sounds may appear in what position, but I never got to actually work on that idea. Such a tool would be a huge help for conlanging!
There are some problems with the audio in this video. I probably know what the problem is but I couldn't fix it anymore without having to redo the entire video. Next week's video should have no problems with the audio!
Exactly. A stem MUST have a lexical meaning while a base can have one but doesn't have to. I am not sure if this rule would apply 100% of the time, but think of it like this: "Every stem is a base, but not every base is a stem." If the base has lexical meaning, it is also a stem. If it doesn't, it is not a stem but just a base (or maybe a root as well)
@@LinguisticsFriend sure i am mostly making a conlang for fun as my school year is over and I have to much free time. I guess I kinda dont have a purpose as I don't have a fantasy world or something that requires it so i guess fun. 😅
Just having fun is a great purpose! It allows you to work on your conlang whenever you feel like it with no pressure and it's great for linguistic experimentation. I personally really like these kinds of languages as they just allow me to have fun and see what is possible or what "silly" result I can create. :)
@@LinguisticsFriend that was really nice for you to say that. Tho I am doing this just for fun but I also hope to create something completely unique. Create something that has not been seen by the conlang community ;)
The example "prefer" for base words is not correct in the video. "prefer" is a base word and not a root, as said in the video, because it consists of two morphemes. The problem occurs when saying it is not a stem. The morpheme "fer" is not a stem as it has no lexical meaning, which is also what is said in the video. "prefer" in its entirety is a stem with lexical meaning. So "prefer" is a base word and a stem.
