GlossonomiaEpisode 44: Diacritics Part 2In Part Two of this series on Diacritics, Phil Thompson and Eric Armstrong discuss the intricacies of diacritic symbols and what they mean when applied to vowel and consonant symbols of the IPA. The guys follow along with the list of diacritic marks on the Wikipedia page for the International Phonetic Alphabet. The episode begins at laminal diacritic, which Wikipedia classifies as part of the “articulation diacritics”, and continue on to discuss “co-articulation diacritics” and “suprasegmentals”.2014-04-2600 minGlossonomiaEpisode 43: Diacritics Part 1Though Phil and Eric had intended to cover all the diacritical marks in the IPA in this podcast, they just couldn’t do it. In fact, Eric’s recorder stopped recording after 45 minutes, though they kept talking for 15 more minutes... so this is merely an introduction to diacritics, not an exhaustive review of all of them. For reference, the boys work their way through the symbols following the order that the wikipedia article on the International Phonetic Alphabet’s section on diacritics takes, so you might want to follow along.2014-04-0900 minGlossonomiaEpisode 42: square and startIn this episode, Phil and Eric tackle two of the “centering diphthongs” (aka the r-colored diphthongs in rhotic accents), square and start. Much of the episode is spent tackling the very subtle possibilities of vowel quality where these lexical sets might be realized, and the fun that one can have tweaking those possibilities—smoothing, breaking, more or less rhoticity, more open vs. more close nuclei or codas. FUN!2014-03-2900 minGlossonomiaEpisode 41: Schwee & SchwooThis week we delve deeper into the topic of weaken vowels that behave similarly to schwa /ə/, namely the weakened forms of the /i/ and /u/ vowels [usually realized as somewhere in the range of [i̽] or [ɨ], [ʊ] or perhaps [ɵ], sometimes known—controversially—as “schwee” and “schwoo.” We even chat about weakened diphthongs and what that might mean for speakers (“schwoe” and “schwhy,” anyone?). Phil and Eric also chat for quite some time about Geoff Lindsay’s blog post on the topic of “Schwee”.2013-05-0400 minGlossonomiaEpisode 40: Consonant ClustersWe’re tackling strings of consonants in this episode! Phil and Eric talk about clusters of consonants and how they “work” for us. Eric refers to J.C. Catford’s book A Practical Introduction to Phonetics quite a bit!2013-04-2600 minGlossonomiaEpisode 39: choicePhil and Eric managed to do an episode on the Lexical Set choice this week, in spite of Phil’s never-ending cold and Eric’s dogs (who wanted to go out when they were in, and in when they were out...) Phil talks a bit about the history of the set, we talk about its representation in the IPA and we tackle odd variations, including the classic New York choice - nurse (near) merger.2013-04-1400 minGlossonomiaEpisode 37: mouthPhil and Eric tackle the mouth lexical set, and compare it, briefly to the price set. We reference Robbie Burns’ To a Mouse, and talk about how it evolved through the Great Vowel Shift from an /u/ vowel, to its present location, in the range of /æʊ/—/aʊ/—/ɑʊ/. Eric touches on Canadian Raising, and the two glossonomians explore the range of articulations, modulating the initial component of the “vector”, and then the final component.2013-03-1900 minGlossonomiaEpisode 36: Non-English Pulmonic ConsonantsEric and Phil tackle the entire Pulmonic Chart of the IPA, focusing on the Non-English sounds. We move quickly, and don’t focus on what languages you might here these consonants. Instead we focus on how to make them and points to remember when teaching them. If you do want to know what language you want to hear a certain consonant in, please refer to Wikipedia. The best method is to search for the consonant that you’re interested in, for example, the voiceless velar fricative /x/, which would take you here. In this case, /x/ occurs in lang...2013-03-0100 minGlossonomiaEpisode 35: priceAfter a YEAR on hiatus, Phil and Eric return to Glossonomia with an episode about the lexical set price. We cover the history of the /aɪ/ sound, how it evolved from the /i/ sound we hear in fleece words today. We also dig deep into concepts such as smoothing, Canadian Raising, price allophony, and other variations of the set, such as we hear in the South of the United States, in Scotland or Ireland.2013-02-2000 minGlossonomiaEpisode 34: FricativesHosts Phil Thompson and Eric Armstrong work their way across the Pulmonic Consonant Chart, focusing in on the Fricative row. Though they do cover English fricatives [θ ð f v s z ʃ ʒ], they go into much greater depth on the non-English sounds [ɸ β ʂ ʐ ç ʝ x ɣ χ ʁ ħ ʕ ʜ ʢ h ɦ ]. (note that they follow the IPA chart on the wikipedia page, which sort of blends the very back fricatives with the approximants.)2012-04-1100 minGlossonomiaEpisode 33: R Vowels, part deuxToday, Phil and Eric finish off our four part trifecta on R, with a deep discussion of linking r, instrusive r, triphthongs and other R-ful tidbits to delight and enthral you.2012-04-0300 minGlossonomiaEpisode 32: AffricatesIn this Episode, Phil and Eric talk about the consonant sounds known as Affricates. The sounds, which begin with a stop and release into a fricative, are important in English, as there are two affricates we use on a regular basis: /tʃ/ and /dʒ/. Phil and Eric also discuss non-English affricates, the difference between an affricate and a stop-affricate pair (as in the difference between ratchet and rat-shit, which exemplify both).2012-03-2700 minGlossonomiaEpisode 31: R VowelsIn this episode, Phil and Eric start to unpack the overstuffed suitcase known as rhotic vowels, or r-colored vowels. They cover things like what a rhotic vowel is, the possible use of syllabic consonant R [ɹ̩] rather than using vowel r’s, the difference between rhotic-schwa (aka “schwar,” “r-colored schwa,” or even “flying-schwa”) and rhotic-turned-epsilon (aka “rhotic-3” or “flying-3”). That’s ɚ or ɝ. There is also discussion of the possibility of other rhotic vowels, such as ɑ˞ or ɔ˞. Phil and Eric leave plenty of room for further discussion on future episodes on R-vowels!2012-03-1700 minGlossonomiaEpisode 30: R ConsonantsAfter our overview episode last week, Phil and Eric look in greater detail at the full range of R consonant variation. We follow the Rhotic Consonants page on wikipedia as a means of tracking the various possible articulations. You can follow along, too! We cover: • Trills • Alveolar [r] • Uvular [ʀ] • Retroflex [ɽ] • Taps and flaps • Alveolar tap [ɾ] • Alveolar lateral flap [ɺ] • Retroflex flap [ɽ] • Labiodental flap (perceived as non-rhotic) [ⱱ] • Alveolar approximant [ɹ] • Molar approximant (aka “braced” /r/) -- see John Wells’s phonetic blog on the VASTA discussion and Erik Singer’s “anchor” [] • Retroflex approximant 2011-11-2000 minGlossonomiaEpisode 29: R OverviewWe’ve been moaning about this one, and now we have to face it: we’re tackling the category of sounds that have an R quality, and this episode gets Phil and Eric talking about vowel and consonant R, similarities to semi-vowels, trills, taps, fricatives, approximants, and even the lowered third formant associated with the acoustic qualities of R-ish-ness. We talk about the history of the letter shape, rhotic and non-rhotic accents, and much more.We’ve also added a Facebook group! Won’t you come join us there? And, as always, you can contact us via our email ad...2011-11-1300 minGlossonomiaEpisode 28: goatWe’re going to get your goat with this episode: Phil and Eric tackle the lexical set goat, that mirrors the set in last episode, face. They discuss the sound of the diphthong and monophthong versions and the history of both the phone and even the letter shape.2011-11-0200 minGlossonomiaEpisode 27: facePhil and Eric face the music on this one: they tackle the ticklishly intriguing face lexical set, and discuss diphthongs, monophthongs and other phthings, er, things related to the set! And Eric manages to avoid making his lame joke about dip-thongs (something about small European bathing suits...)In the course of things, they discuss the chart on wikipedia that lays out the sound changes of the Great Vowel Change. Follow along with the chart while listening!They also discuss the breve (which wikipedia says is pronounced [bɹiv] though we say [bɹɛv] through the whole epi...2011-10-2400 minGlossonomiaEpisode 26: LateralsDark and Light (or is it “clear”?) /l/ forms the core of this episode, where Phil and Eric tackle all the elements of the “el” sounds in English and the world’s languages.2011-10-0700 minGlossonomiaEpisode 25: dressIn our silver anniversary episode, Phil and Eric talk about the lexical set dress, and all the various vowels that are associated with it. That includes [e] or is it [ɛ]? The guys try to uncover the history behind the choice to use [e], and advocate pretty hard for their preference, [ɛ]. Show Notes:We referred to these as we chatted, but wandered all over the place, so we probably don’t get to most of them...DRESSOpen-mid front unrounded vowelNotice that it isn’t mid. We don’t have a symbol...2011-08-2500 minGlossonomiaEpisode 24: Live!Recorded at the 2011 VASTA Conference in Chicago IL at Roosevelt University, Phil and Eric take the show to their audience. It’s a “show about the show” where we talk about the magic behind the curtain, topic choices, and we take questions from our studio audience. Though we don’t spend much time on the sounds of speech, we do have a great time taking “calls” from our friends. In the second half we spend quite a lot of time on the subject of GenAm, Standard speech and Neutral speech, whatever they may be...Topics include: The impetus for the show...2011-08-1400 minGlossonomiaEpisode 23: NasalsGlossonnnnnnommmmmia is comin’ through the nose this week: we’re talking about Nasals, both consonants and vowels – nasalized vowels, that is. Hosts Phil Thompson and Eric Armstrong discuss not only English’s 3 nasal consonants, but all the nasals the human mouth can utter. [note: Phil’s recording starts to sound echoey in the second half. That’s my fault for not editing it well. Sorry! Hope it isn’t too annoying!]Show NotesVelo-Pharyngeal Port - lifting and lowering the soft palate - ban vs. band as a way of feeling the action of the lifting of...2011-07-3000 minGlossonomiaEpisode 22: thought (& cloth)In their third and final episode on lot, cloth and thought, co-hosts Eric Armstrong and Phil Thompson not only think about, but actually talk about the thought lexical set. What it is, how to identify it, and its relationship to cloth, lot, and, tangentially, palm.Show NotesAt the end of the show, Phil and Eric talk through the following sentence in their own accents (such as they are), with Phil’s cloth – thought, merger and Eric’s Canadian cloth–lot–palm merger.LOT CLOTH THOUGHT The officer, and the constable talked to my daughter a...2011-06-1300 minGlossonomiaEpisode 21: lot, cloth, (thought)Hosts Eric Armstrong and Phil Thompson focus on lot-cloth mergers in this unusually short episode. [Recorded in March but not published until May, this (hopefully) marks the end of a long hiaitus!] Often we have either lot-cloth separate from thought, or we have cloth-thought separate from lot. Phil outlines some history of back vowels, and the spelling (usually with A’s and O’s). Short /o/—in spelling, lot words like “clock, chop, hot” the vowel is short and checked by the short voiceless stop. Meanwhile, cloth words like “cough, cross, coffee” and “gone,” the vowel is also short and the foll...2011-05-0100 minGlossonomiaEpisode 20: lot, cloth, thoughtGreat Scott! Hosts Phil & Eric think awfully hard on the sounds of the lexical sets lot, cloth, thought. A set up for the trifecta (tetrafecta?) of our next few shows, in this episode we talk through the sounds typically associated with these lexical sets, particularly in “standard” accents like Received Pronunciation, so-called General American, Canadian, and the tendency for cloth to merge with either lot or thought.Typical Sounds encountered in these lexical sets range from a type aɑ script aɒ turned script aɔ open oDiacritics discussed:o̞ lowered2011-03-0600 minGlossonomiaEpisode 19: Esh & EzhIn thish show, Phil and Eric talk their way around the shounds of "sh" and "zh", [ʃ] and [ʒ], post-alveolar fricatives. This pair of consonants provide ample room for discussion of how the sounds are made, compared to similar sounds in the mouth.Show Notes: - compared to /s/ and /z/, the airflow of /ʃ/ and /ʒ/ goes through a wider aperture - /ʃ/is very broad spectrum, which makes it an effective "shusher" - these sounds include a lip-rounding component - /ʒ/ Phil uses less lip-rounding (lip corner advancement) than /ʃ/, while Eric is unaw...2011-01-2800 minGlossonomiaEpisode 18: trap, bath & palm Part IVIn this Episode, hosts Phil and Eric dig down deep into the sound of the palm lexical set. After a LOOOONG Hiatus, we're back, and exploring the sound of the ɑː vowel.2011-01-1700 minGlossonomiaEpisode 17: trap, bath & palm Part IIIPhil and Eric are in fine form in this third (but, not final, alas...) part of their trilogy on the three lexical sets known as trap, bath & palm. We set out to do three things: correct an error regarding bath "prime," discuss features of trap, most notably the feature called "Asc Tensing" (sounds like something Richard Simmons would have you do for a firmer butt), and to dig deeper into the palm set. Alas, we don't get to the third objective, though we did try.Show Notes:Phil explains how...2010-11-0200 minGlossonomiaEpisode 16: trap, bath & palm Part IIWe're back at it, back in the bath lexical set, exploring the realm of trap, bath and palm. Hosts Phil Thompson and Eric Armstrong continue on from Episode 15 with more on these lexical sets.Show Notes: • a quick review of what a Lexical Set is • how to recognize words in the bath lexical setFrom J.C.Wells' Accents of English:7.

Our show about those two hissy consonants, /s/ and /z/. Phil and Eric chat their way through a discussion of sibilance, and spend a lot of time talking about so-called-gay-speech, and other aspects of what may be perceived as the continuum of masculinity/femininity in speakers, regardless of gender, sexual orientation or affectional preferences. Show Notes:Voiced/ Voiceless Apical/Laminal Alveolar Fricative (sibilant)FormationEither tongue tip up or down, narrowing behind the upper front teeth; groove down the center of the tongue; pulmonic air pressure...2010-05-2500 minGlossonomiaEpisode 13: footGoodness! It's our lucky thirteenth episode, and Phil and Eric tackle the /ʊ/ vowel and the lexical set foot. We talk about symbols used to represent it in phonetic notation, spellings of the sound, the history of the sound, splits and mergers in various accents of English, and interesting "goodies" about the sound represented by upsilon .Show Notes:Description “short oo” near-close near-back rounded vowel Formation Do it like this: [slide between /u/ and schwa?] Handbook of the IPA defines this as a 'mid-centralization of /u/'.Phonetic Symbo...2010-05-1000 minGlossonomiaEpisode 11: gooseOoooo! It's the goosonomia episoode! Yes, in the eleventh instalment of Glossonomia, Phil and Eric talk for a very long time (1:36) about the [u] vowel. In it, we talk about the evolution of the /u/ sound, and how historical /u/ turned into /aʊ/(as in "house"), while historical /oː/ turned into /u/ (as in "room").We also discuss: • goose fronting, especially in California, but also in South Africa • yod, and its use in /ju/ and /jʊ/ • yod dropping after coronals, as in "tune, duke, nuke, Luke, suit" • yod coalesc...2010-04-1700 minGlossonomiaEpisode 10: f & vThis is our "Fava" episode: great with a nice Chianti (you can leave the liver out, Dr. Lecter...) Hosts Phil Thompson and Eric Armstrong talk their way through the sounds /f/ and /v/ in this episode. As it is our first episode dealing with fricative sounds, we spend quite a while talking through their nature.Show Notes[Don't have any time to go through the show this week and edit the show notes. These are the things Phil and I collected before we began recording; it's a bit messy, but may be helpful when...2010-04-0500 minGlossonomiaEpisode 9: strut & nurse [ʌ ɜ]Word! Shut. Up. This week, Phil and Eric explore the mid-central vowel space, including [ɘ, ɵ, ə, ɜ, ɞ, ɐ] and even discuss the (completely theoretical at this point) new symbol [a]. Yes, we do explore the strut and nurse lexical sets, too.Show Notes:Phonemes are “the idea of a sound”, the building blocks we have in our minds that help us construct words. One can say they are the smallest segment of sound employed to form meaningful contrasts between words. Phones, on the other hand, is the physical and acoustic realization of that phoneme, “what comes out your mouth.” Different accents can ha...2010-03-2800 minGlossonomiaEpisode 8b: Interview with MajaSeeing how his daughter, Maja, was studying Spanish and knew a lot more about seseo/ceceo/distinción than we did, Phil chose to interview her for a short briefing on the ins and outs of the “th” sound ipa [θ] in Spanish.2010-03-2200 minGlossonomiaEpisode 8: “th” [θ ð]Think about this: hosts Phil Thompson and Eric Armstrong are delving into the sounds represented by the spelling “th” this week. In the course of it, they’ll chat about how the sound is rare in the world’s languages, how it’s formed in various varieties of English around the world, and its use in Spanish. Show Notes:The show starts with an Audio Comment from Erik Singer re barred i and they guys’ response."th" soundsIn the world's languages, they are fairly rare. 40 languages appear on the WALS "P...2010-03-2200 minGlossonomiaEpisode 7: Schwa [ə]It’s the “Schwapisode” this week! Hosts Phil Thompson and Eric Armstrong get right into the middle of things (or at least, into the middle of the vowel space) to talk about the mid-central vowel, the most popular vowel in the English language.Show Notes:Schwa, the term: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwa#The_term " The word schwa is from the Hebrew word shva (שְׁוָא shewa’, /ʃəˈwa/, modern pronunciation: shva /ʃva/), which designates the Hebrew niqqud vowel sign shva,” “that in modern Hebrew indicates either the phoneme /e/ or the complete absence of a vowel.
