I have 8 nieces and nephews, 2 I’ve never met, 1 I only see on Halloween cause they trick or treat at my house.
The oldest two are 11 and 13 and the youngest is only a few months old
The way my family works is like a promotion system, so say you have a cousin who’s going to have a baby, the cousins of said cousin become aunts and uncles, the aunts and uncles become grandparents, and the nieces and nephews become cousins.

As of now I'm fluent in Italian (native language so obv) and English (C2 level), I can read/understand most French and Spanish, some Greek and Portuguese, plus some general knowledge of German and Swedish

one of my orthographic pet peeves is when a writer spells out someone's accent phonetically (already a bad start) and uses -in' with an apostrophe for their pronunciation of -ing. like, what, are you indicating that the specific marked thing that's different about how this person speaks is that they're not pronouncing the g in -ing? do you pronounce the g in -ing? get serious
True, but there is a difference in the pronounciation of the 'n' in -in' and -ing.
In -ing, you have an 'n' with the middle of the tongue on the roof of the mouth but for -in you have the tip of the tongue on the bit behind the top gums.
(I apologise I don't know which phonems these are)
yeah but the difference isn't that one of them pronounces the g and the other one doesn't, you don't need the apostrophe there. it would be like spelling "the" with a stopped th as t'e instead of da or something
i mean i get your point but <ng> is pretty commonly understood as a digraph for the velar nasal. all they're indicating is that the person uses an alveolar nasal instead of the velar one
you said "but" as though you were going to argue against what I said
well i guess the implicit argument is that i think <n'> is a decent spelling of the sound they're trying to convey XD

how did you get into compling? did you need a strong stats/compsci background?
Hi, sorry I took this long to answer I don't usually get asks so I just. Forgot. My bad.
Now. I personally got into compling like yesterday, that is to say that the accepted my application for a Master's solely on corpus linguistics, as I said, yesterday.
Up until now what I have done is take some linguistics modules during my bachelor's, where I was introduced to corpus linguistics, and do my dissertation on corling (to be specific, corpus stylistics).
Now, the point here is that it very much depends on where you want to study and what they ask you. Me personally I never studied statistics or computational sciences on a uni level, which will probably turn out to be a problem for the simple fact that I can learn one corpus manager programme at a time, and I will suck so bad when I'll have to deal with the actual... computer related stuff. As of now I have yet to encounter any major problems, but I suspect that's because the tools I used were very user friendly and my thesis advisor wasn't too strict on the numbers. I don't think my research was that statistically accurate.
This whole thing being said, I believe having that kind of background would help, but I don't think many will require you to have taken compsci before a compling degree, they are much more likely to want you to be familiar with linguistics rather than computers. Still, this is my experience, who knows.
Hope this helped? If you have any more doubts (that you believe I could answer) please don't hesitate to ask :)
wow congrats on the master's program admission!! i've never heard of corpus stylistics, what's that?
it did help, thanks!! one more follow up: what are your corpus manager programs?
apologies for the low quality image, but this roundabout has what I believe is a phonetic transcription on it :0
"sqʷɑliˀ wɑs̆ətəb sˀɑhidup" (those might be regular glottal stops)
ooh awesome! according to wikipedia:
The Nisqually speak a subdialect of the southern dialect of Lushootseed (called Twulshootseed), which is a Coast Salish language. In Lushootseed, their name is dxʷsqʷaliʔabš, meaning "people of the grass."
and that isn't a phonetic transcription but rather the Lushootseed orthography, which was developed in the 1950s. here's how "sqʷɑliʔ wɑs̆ətəb sʔɑhidup" is written in the IPA. it makes sense that it looks so similar, cause the Lushootseed alphabet was was adapted from the IPA.
/sqʷɑliʔ wɑʃətəb sʔɑhidup/

i'll be considering it, but my last gimmick blogs never got anywhere really, so... idk
That's totally fair! And I'll be honest I'm not running this one bc I'm expecting fame, it's just fun! My queue is tiny, it only posts twice a day. I spend a few minutes every couple days just asking folks their favorite letter, I don't dedicate near the amount of time @favorite-word-guy and @favourite-number-girl dedicate to their gimmick blogs. So you certainly could just do it for the sillies without expecting it to go anywhere, and it if takes off, that's just an extra bonus!
AND if you still don't want to, absolutely no pressure. :] These are, by all means, relatively niche gimmick blogs and they may not take off at all and if that's not of interest to you, absolutely no worries!
The option will always be there either way ^^
i am considering favorite phoneming but the only thing stopping me is i don't want to make a new account to send asks from... maybe people won't be too confused if IPA transcriber sends them an ask about their favorite phoneme. yeah
why don't native english speakers randomly do accents? i don't get it, it's way easier for you guys to just randomly start speaking in a scottish or english accent. i would do it all the time if i could pull it off
where'd you get the idea that it's easier for native speakers to imitate other speakers of that same language from? personally i suck at it. it's probably a function of exposure to those other dialects. i just haven't heard that many people speak differently from me, and when i have, this exposure wasn't extensive
scottish people devoice final consonants??
i literally just searched this up to answer your question but seems like it!
i wonder if i could send you clips of accents i find fascinating and whether you could manage to transcribe them
sure! but just ask me for 30 seconds of audio at a time, you can indicate with timestamps
Anon from before (not writing in ipa because time): My accent is a mix of various British accents really but I tried to make the transcription a lot closer to my home area so your guess was pretty good
We do aspirate voiceless plosives, our aspiration is actually really important so not sure how I forgot that.
In terms of 'with'... I think normally I wouldn't voice that but for some reason I did when I recorded myself to help transcribe this.
Other things I purposefully put in the snippet. I don't use velarised ls and I use taps.
omg a british blend! thanks for following up, i was very curious lol
sometimes we pronounce things differently in careful or planned speech, so that might explain the voiced interdental in with also that's cool that you don't use velarized l's, cause as far as i can tell, in my accent i only use velarized l's
kãn jᵊ tɜl wɪt͡ʃ akˑsɜ̃nt̚ aɪ av fɾɔ̃m ðɪs
ɪʔ mẽɪ nɔ̃ʔ̚ biː wə̃n juːə fə̃mɪ̃liə wɪð
i'm definitely not familiar with this accent
is that a narrow transcription? if you don't aspirate word initial plosives this might be irish or scottish. but not that many of those accents are non rhotic, so that's confusing
[av] for have seems french to me
but you use interdental fricatives so maybe this is a native speaker's accent after all
the t glottalization and non rhoticity seems british
the voiced fricative in [wɪð] is very confusing, especially since it's word final. i know the fricative might become voiced if there's a voiced segment afterwards but this is literally both word final and phrase final.
apparently australians and southern british ppl pronounce "not" the way you do
but the fact that you pronounce may like [mẽɪ] seems not australian to me
in conclusion, i have no clue. my very stupid guess is a type of british english i haven't heard before
anon if you see this, send me another one and let me know how close i was lol
