I can't thank you enough,ma'am. I think your channel is the best at teaching phonetics ever on youtube. When you tackle a particular topic, I think one needn't search for something else. You are really experienced and sophisticated. I wish you good.
Hi Billie Hope you are well Could you explain about accent placement or voice placement for particular accent? I reckon my awareness is better now nevertheless could you tell about accent placement of SSB or Modern RP? I feel the more back voice resonates, the more closer it sounds to SSB. In many accents i feel sounds resonates in the mouth more forward that makes the big difference. 😊 Many accent teachere although teach physicality. But they left this voice part. Which plays a huge role in proprioception of sounds. There is difference tongue position and resonance. Tongue positions help us to shape the sounds and resonance provides it quality. Both of these makes a native like sound.
As a fan of German language, athough not a teacher of German, I can say that these syllabic consonants are also found in Standard German spoken with today's standard pronunciation called "Deutsche Hochsprache" (they having changed this term to "Deutsche Aussprache" lately), but not in Standard German spoken in the first standard pronunciation called "die deutsche Bühnenaussprache" or "Bühnendeutsch" as introduced by Theodor Siebs in 1898, which was considered to be standard pronunciation until 1950s in Germany: arbeiten [ˈaʀbaɪtn̩] Schweden [ˈsveːdn̩] backen [ˈbakŋ̩] oben [ˈoːbm̩] In German stage pronunciation, all these -en's are simply pronounced [ən], which Indonesians, of whom I was one, find it simple. We, in Indonesia, do not discuss these syllabic consonants in learning English and German. They are too difficult for Indonesians to pronounce. We always skip this topic and pretend that syllabic consonants do not exist in English and German.
Hey, thank you for your lesson. In the example at 10:00, the "perhaps" /pr̩æps/, as the "r" counts as a syllable, the "p" before it counts as a syllabic consonant too? like in: /p̩r̩æps/ (it feels wrong), or as in the context of connected speech, counts as part of the word before "perhaps" or?
Hey there! So if the "un" sound at the end of button is not a syllabic consonant does the "uh" act as the nucleus and the "n" sound act as the coda? Also, if the "n" in button is a syllabic constant like "but-n" then in that cause there is NO coda the "n" in "but-n" now becomes just the nucleus? Thank you! :)
Hello! Thank you for your question! Just to clarify: in the final syllable of the word 'button' the vowel (= the schwa) can disappear and what is left is only a consonant that has now got vowel like quality and - yes indeed - would act as a nucelus of that syllable since there is no vowel left. Best watch my other video on syllable structure in which I explain this more!

Hello! It doesn't seem to have any vowels when we spell it, but it does contain vowel sounds in the pronunciation. You can see it clearly when written in IPA sound symbols: /ˈrɪð.əm/ - there is a short i in the first syllable and a schwa (which could be left out) in the final syllable.
