Joshua McNeillMy students last semester laughed at me (I did, too) because they all have [aʊɹ] for "our" and I have [aɹ]. I just recently came across a misspelling of the word "our" as <are>, though, and I'm now grateful for poor spelling as that was a reminder that I'm not alone.
RezIf you have kids in Primary school, being taught to read, be careful how you react.
Chenzi XuHands-on MFA series on the low-resource language Bora, based on fieldwork word lists from a single speaker (~1.5 hours!).

ASR from Scratch III: Training models of Bora, a Low-resource Language (MFA) | Dr Chenzi Xu
This chapter we focus on Bora, an endangered indigenous language of South America, primarily spoken in the western Amazon rainforest. I will demonstrate how to train a mini Bora acoustic model for forced alignment. Even with just 1.5 hours of Bora speech from Dr Jose Elias-Ulloa’s fieldwork, we can produce surprisingly decent time-aligned TextGrids.

AbieAttation, je vais essayer d'articuler une idée qui est probablement très bête, mais je tente.
Imaginez que vous ayez quelque chose dans la bouche (une brosse à dents, votre portefeuille pendant que vous fouillez dans votre sac pour vos clés, une pomme) que qu'un ami vous pose une question.
Votre position ne vous permet pas facilement de hocher la tête ou d'émettre HON ou HI en guise de non ou oui.
Il me semble que dans cette situation j'aurais tendance à faire
- hmmm pour oui
- hm-hm pour non.
Mais en y réfléchissant je peux aussi faire hmmhmm pour oui, de façon non ambiguë. Mais alors où est la différence ?
La caractéristique du non me semble en fait être le coup de glotte (glottal stop).

Un avis sur la question ? des références à recommander ?

Ergative AbsolutiveHey, if you know #sociolinguistics and #phonetics, there's a beer-money job available at Glasgow University:
(don't be fooled by the salary range -- buried in the fine print we see that it's 0.4 FTE).

This is a reasonable position if ALL of the following are true:
1) you do not have a better job and want an affiliation while looking
2) you want an academic career (ugh, why tho?)
3) You ALREADY live nearby.
(open to nearly-PhDs, too)
Natasha WarnerGramle in 1 day! I pretty much read this one off, and then went "hey, that's a word, let's try it!" and it was. Answer: fields. I thought the initial fricative was probably too loud for theta, and the little gap before the final /z/ was probably enough for a voiced stop. Huge drop in F2 but not much change in F3 looks like /il/. #linguistics #phonetics #gramle Gramle 933 1/5

LorryThis is interesting to me, at least. It looks like they trialled this in poorer areas of the country, so mostly I see Lancashire in the article, but also Plymouth; possibly places where kids wouldn't be expected to have access to books at home?
I went to school at a very early age, to a day-boarding school. They taught ITA and normal English together, I think, at least, I could read normal English, but I thought in ITA and still do.
If you ask me to spell something, I spell it in my head in the phonetic alphabet (ah, bu, ker, der, eh, pff, ger) and I have a mostly instinctive translation mechanism that translates it to normal English style before I speak it; except when I have to actually think about the spelling, and split my brain, then it comes out phonetically, I have to experiment with the spelling in phonetics before I can convert - I just can't think in normal English.
I am not sure it messed me up much. I have learned to spell, but some words don't make sense to me (which is just English), and some I am stubborn about.
I also collect ITA books now, the first one I got after 50 years or so, I realised I could read perfectly. I'd never thought about what happened to ITA, maybe I was lucky that I used both and wasn't suddenly hit with a whole new reading language; but I do wonder where it went, and when I stopped using it.
