[@AzeLinguistics]

[@alexrediger2099]

Cool addition of the linguistic history according to language families.

[@theophonchana5025]

omne > omre > homre (h-addition) > hombre (epenthetic b)

😮Amazing video , thanks ❤

[@crazycool2544]

Hello Aze I need your help please, to understand what "There Insertion" means?

[@anisdaww65]

About Neutralization please:'

[@theophonchana5025]

Linking R and intrusive R

[@theophonchana5025]

Linking consonants

[@Lil_monooo]

After watching this video I am really wondering if this is actually about insertion on deletion.

[@AzeLinguistics]

Those are all phonological processes though.

[@theophonchana5025]

ofn > ofen (epenthetic e) > oven (consonant voicing)

[@ramzy-6566]

amazing video, Thanks.

[@princeadusei784]

Please what motivates the phonological processes?

[@elhameee1335]

This coure is really beneficial. How can I say ( it's so benefit me ) ? In English

[@calina8055]

It benefits me.

[@YesAhmad]

thanks a lot.

[@goldenprince9569]

Thank you!

[@AzeLinguistics]

See you every Wednesday :)

[@kenyang7170]

Is the insertion of s in "vas-y" an example of epenthesis? How rare is the intrusive r in American English?

[@AzeLinguistics]

Are you talking about the French 'Vas y.'? I will have to take a look on studies of the intrusive r in AmE.

[@kenyang7170]

@@AzeLinguistics Yes. Thanks!

[@AzeLinguistics]

@@kenyang7170 That's a process called 'liaison' in French. Broadly speaking, you can consider it a form of epenthesis. Liaison-epenthesis, intrusive-R epenthesis and the epenthesis of 'p' in 'hampster' (instead of 'hamster') are all similar in that they are all epenthesis. However, they can also be analyzed comparatively for their differences. Thanks for your question! I'll make sure to take it up in a video about different types of 'epenthesis' (while including a screenshot of your comment :) )

[@kenyang7170]

@@AzeLinguistics Thank you for sharing knowledge! Incidentally, an observation: in the first paragraph of JFK's address to the Greater Houston Ministerial Association, there was an intrusive R in "the hungry children I saw R in West Virginia".

[@AzeLinguistics]

@@kenyang7170 Thanks for your feedback. Can you be more specific about JFK's?

[@rajendrasingh977]

I am confused about 'often' being phonologically changed into 'oven'. I pronounce it as /ɒfən/ and not /ʌvn/.

[@AzeLinguistics]

Is that actually a thing?

[@rajendrasingh977]

@@AzeLinguistics - I think it was mentioned in your video.

[@jukebox9407]

It has nothing to do with 'often'. From Ofn to Ofen and to Oven.

law and order => law-r-and order

[@everythinginyourhands5887]

Thanks

[@AzeLinguistics]

everything in your hands 👍

[@agusveliz5734]

Is there any rule or theory to know when we are going to encounter an intrusive r?
