PHY207 - PDE Connected Speech

This E-Lecture discusses and exemplifies the consequences of the rhythmic organization of spoken English as a stress-timed language: Assimilation, Elision, Weakening and Liaison. As usual Handke illustrates his arguments by numerous examples from PDE.

I've to say you're better than thousands of English teaching KZbinrs here. Thanks a lot for teaching passionately!

I've got an aesthetic feeling during and after this e-lecture. Thank you a lot.

Herr Jürgen, not only English has the so-called "link-ups" or "liaison" but German has, too. Just for an example, German newsreaders of Deutsche Welle Radio on shortwave once said: [ɛs‿ɪst ˈdraɪʊntsvantsɪç ʔuːɐ ˈvɛltsaɪt ‖ ɪn ˈdɔʏtʃlant ʔɪst‿əs ʔaɪn ˈʔuːɐ]. I also heard Germans employ a link-up after the verb "gibt", which is followed by "es" spoken with a weak form [əs] as in [ˈvas ˈɡɪpt‿əs]. Dutch also employs a lot of link-ups as in [ɦuː ˈɣaːt‿ət]. I love German and Dutch languages!

The best way to study connected speech is by watching your videos.It was short and sweet but very useful

[@alexandraaaa2567]

Finally I know what is happening on my lectures :D

[@mysticrea4898]

Thank you Sir, it really helps!

[@jessycafiuza6958]

fnaufel, I'm not sure if I'm an appropriate person to properly answer your question, but I believe that what occurs in this case (/'aentsər/) is an epenthesis - "inserting of vowel or consonant into an existing sequence to break up difficult to pronounce sequences", for I believe that's an instance of progressive assimilation, as you said. Hugs from Brazil

[@fnaufel]

In American English (in the New England region, to be precise), it is common to hear an intrusive "r" even when no linking is involved (i.e., in sentence final position!). E.g., "I have been to Cuba /kju:bəɹ/. Also to Africa /æfɹɪkəɹ/." This is particularly curious in a region where the common pronunciation of "harbor" is /ha:bə/ with no trace of an "r"!

[@davidpalomino5603]

Thank you for being so clear.. Would you mind doing (Assimilation cases). separated.. and full lateral and nasal aspiration? Please?. Very Useful!!!! I already suscribed!!

[@IzaJakubosz94]

Thank you it was very useful...btw I love your english :)

[@moh.1611]

Fantastic I'd like to thank you for this useful lecture. At the same time, Can I you for more example to practice? kind regards

[@SeulRaven]

Perfect! :D

[@Mike-yk7rl]

frightening: should the "t" become a glottal stop and the "n" be a syllabic n ?

[@BlancaMendez]

Can anyone help me out with examples of phonological processes (assimilation,elision,haplology, metathesis, coalescence) taken from movies or series???

[@fnaufel]

Thanks for the lesson. I have often heard the word "answer" pronounced /'aentsər/. Is this an instance of liason (the /t/ is inserted) or is this an instance of progressive assimilation (/s/ becomes /ts/ because of /n/)? But, if the latter is the case, what feature of /n/ does /s/ assimilate?

[@keegster7167]

I'm wondering this too because I find it impossible to say /ns/ without saying /nts/ or /nz/ without saying /ndz/. So for me is [æn.t͡səɹ].

[@nithupiano]

Awesome

[@istocco]

Sorry, professor: talking about Assimilition, isn't it the same example of regressive assimilation "in case" than "ten coins"? Both are alveolar nassal becoming velar nassals..

[@anglictinathomas]

❤️❤️👍🏻

[@pavenamohanarajah1235]

what is the aspect of connected speech in "my town" ?

[@oer-vlc]

In isolation: none.

[@pavenamohanarajah1235]

But it sounds like "/mait təun/" anyways thankyou for your reply!

[@pochispoch]

If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? how would you read this?

This guy is a genius, is the equivalente to Marx to English language teaching.
