PHONETICS-9: Maximal Onset Principle & English Phonotactics

[@DuyNguyen-du3fc]

Thank you for bringing your awesome teachings to the world

[@nourelhouda1149]

You’re a life saver! God thank u sm for for showing me his videos

[@andrewh2268]

Due to inadequate teaching at my own university, I have supplemented the course with your lessons instead. Your didactic approach is wonderful, and has helped me understand the maximal onset principle which previously troubled me a bit. Thank you Dr. Abusalim

[@ArmanMartirosyan23]

Thank you Sir you just saved me for my exam tomorrow!

[@22kaoz]

thank you so much, Im currently taking phonetic and this helps a lot

[@abdullahjubouri8582]

You are the best teacher i have ever followed

[@akagye]

Doctor, you’re amazing.

[@haneennawasrah4331]

Great job doctor, it is very clear now 👏

[@redabahlas]

Thank you very much prof.ABUSALIM. A special thanks from MOROCCO

[@majdoulineabuhassan7332]

My favourite doctor at the University of Jordan 😍😍

I believe that in the three consonants onset example, it is not obligatory to have only those three main consonants you said that that onset should end with. In the example of "SPLASH" the onset ends with /l/ consonant sound.

[@rakanal-abadi6181]

{j, w, r, l} share the same natural class since they are all approximants

[@IsabelA-is3hb]

Thank you so much! Your videos helped me a lot!

[@raghadaldawsari1844]

Thank you so much. You made it very clear.

[@Kh-xu1xx]

Dr. Please, I am waiting for your lectures concerning Pragmatics 🙏🏼

[@taslimaalii]

Great lesson! But i am a little confused- i have tried to apply this rule to ‘Christmas’ but i am struggling as i place the ‘s’ as a coda instead of an onset. I.e. “chris.tmas” instead of “chri.stmas” although i do think “christ.mas” makes most sense?

[@oakleywyatt1717]

Most native speakers don't pronounce the /t/, so it's more like chris.mas. Within English phonotactics, /st/ is permitted, (e.g. street, instrument), but /tm/ is not permitted, so if people did pronounce the /t/, it would be more like christ.mas (though I can't remember anyone ever saying it like that)

[@ML-gh2ig]

Thank god I found you!

[@emeseszentgyorgyi7277]

Why is it not allowed in Dakota? :'D :P

[@Pheertjee]

But why does the phonotactic constraint rule exist? where did it come from?

[@ibrahimsaeed3295]

Intervocalic means occurring between two vowels. In case of diploma, p is not intervocalic. Could you please explain it? Thanks in advance.

[@AisyahNursafitri-yp7kd]

thank you sir! it helped me a lot.

What about busy? It's so weirdly separated!(bus-y)

Awesome thank you

good morning professor , i hope you are doing great. I have some exercices in Optimality Theory that i find hard to solve , i was wondering if you could guide me , or give me some keys points on how to solve such exercices , for i have an exam tomorrow. 4 Warlpiri In bare stems, Warlpiri (Nash 1980) has a stress pattern typical of Australian languages: (i) wáti ‘man’ (ii) wátiya ‘tree’ (iii) mánaŋkàa ‘spinifex plain’ The special interest of the pattern resides in its sensitivity to morphological structure. (iv) wáti-ŋka ‘man-loc’ (v) wáti-ŋkà-u ‘man-loc-erg’ (vi) yápa-àŋu-u ‘person-for example-erg’ (vii) wátiyà-a ‘tree-loc’ (viii) wátiya-à-u ‘tree-loc-erg’ (ix) yápaa-ŋùu ‘father’s mother-elat’ (x) mánaŋkàa-a ‘spinifex-loc’ (xi) mánaŋkàa-à-u ‘spinifex-loc-erg’ a. State the generalizations governing the stress pattern of bare stems and suffixed words. b. What constraint ranking accounts for the pattern of bare stems? Support your analysis by tableaux of wátiya and mánafkàea. c. Now consider suffixed stems, which require an extension of the basic analysis. State a constraint aligning morphemes with feet. Integrate this in the current ranking. d. Support your analysis by tableaux of wátiyà-ea, wátiya-eà-eu, and yápa-eàfu-eu. e. Nash (1980) provides no examples of the type ‘trisyllabic stem plus trisyllabic affix’. What would your analysis predict for such examples? How does this issue bear on the ranking of the alignment constraint? best regards, Asmae

[@bridgetd8993]

thank u so much! but i still have a doubt, why is /3/, not/ɛ/?

[@grahamh.4230]

It’s probably a mistake, but I’m sure backer DRESS vowels in some accents - like in the Northern Cities Vowel Shift, which affects my area (Chicago).

[@이경은-e9m]

What is syllable structure of strength ? Please answer 🙏🏻

[@ovskihouse5271]

Extra: /'ek.strə/ two vowels nucleus : e-ə, there's one coda/k/, but what do call s-t if you've called the /r/ Onset? Rule that you have set /j-w-r/ letters. Are we must stop counting as soon as getting one of them /rə/?

[@cankutbayhan]

can someone advise a resource book for or at least about this topic, this comprehensive plz?

[@iqbaldiwan1827]

Sir ,tell me how to sound whenever ,three vovel will occur together.

[@mirmd.jalalsumon9993]
