Bless you! I'm taking online classes for linguistics and your videos are so much more helpful and easier to understand than my textbook. Saved my grade and passed my exam!
I have some questions need your help to answer. Why does the native speaker usually speaker wrong way with syllable division in dictionary? For example: the word 'city', in Cambridge Dictionary write /ˈsɪt.i/ but native speaker always speak /ˈsɪ.ti/, they don't blend the /t/ sound in the first syllable, they speak /si/ instead /sit/ for the first syllable. Could you explain more about this one? Thank you so much for your time!
Great video. 🙏. Thanks. Moras can easily be understood if you consider to write Japanese in Sanskrit. Please note that Sanskrit too use Mora like system of DEPENDENT VOWELS as well as INDEPENDENT VOWELS. Sadly basic ENGLISH donot use DEPENDENT VOWELS so not suitable for learning Japanese counterpart AKSHARS ( ENGLISH syllables use only INDEPENDENT VOWELS as in ancient Greek). UNLIKE ENGLISH ; Sanskrit do have SHORT & LONG VOWELS ( both DEPENDENT vowels- long as well as short---- like-, ़,ः, ॅ, ॉ, ॆ, ॊ, ॏ, ऺ, ॄ, ॢ, ॣ as well as INDEPENDENT VOWELS-- long as well as short---- like--- अ,आ,इ,ई, उ, ऊं, ए, ऐ, ओ, औ , अं, अ़, अः,ऋ,ऴृ, ॡ.)
In which university do you work doctor? I’m from Jordan and I want to study masters. I really want a good advice. Your lectures are very helpful and I would be pleased if I found a professional doctors to teach me this way. I really appreciate it if you give me some advice. Thank you a lot
Is the word 'appraise' ambisyllabic?The stress goes onto the second syllable, not the first one. So, that schwa does't need its coda from the follwing syllable.
And 'do' is phonetically transcribed as /du/ and Light syllable in your learning board. Isn't /u/ a long vowel?If it is, then it should be heavy in terms of syllable weight.
I watched from 1 - 13 now i understand onset , nucleus and coda ,now i can prepare for my exams well but sir can you explain better on cv and vc ccv and vcc .
Um... 'sit' does not have a long vowel. In the word 'sit,' the vowel is the letter 'i,' which is pronounced as a short vowel sound, as in "ih" (IPA: /ɪ/). Long vowels sound like the names of the vowels themselves (e.g., A, E, I, O, U). In contrast, 'sit' has a short vowel sound.
Issam Sebbane I'm actually in the process of recording more lectures for phonetics and phonology...it will take some time, though. Thanks for the suggestion.
Hello, do you have a video that teaches how to properly write and divide the syllables in IPA? For example, the word elephant is written /ˈel.ɪ.fənt/ but if I write /ˈe.lɪ.fənt/ would that be wrong? Need help! 🙏🏻
