      Ako naman hindi linguistics ang first choice ko kundi Journalism, kaya yun ang kinuha ko. Graduating na ako this year pero ang balak kong kumuha ng MA Linguistics sa UP. Kung di ka nag-linguistics sa college pwede pa naman mag-masters hehe. Goodluck!

    Syntax: structure of language
    Semantics: meaning of language
    Morphology: structure of words (tense, plural/singular)
    Phonetics: sounds
    Phonology: patterns of sounds

    I took Japanese back in my weeb years...
    and they sort of group together certain consonant sounds
    such as cases like: ha(は) ba(ば) and pa(ぱ)
    they just have little notations to indicate how to pronounce them differently.
    it might be dumb but I think that was one of my favorite part of the language.

    @davidmauchly4689 4 роки тому +5

    You are still using your “vocal folds” you can feel it in your throat for the /b/ in /bei/. It is never transcribed as a /p/ in any phonetic spellings. One may still be aspirated over the other, but they are not the same sound. I was listening to your voice and it was very clear that you were vocalizing the b.

    • @Blunight91
      @Blunight91 3 роки тому

      I, too, perceived that /b/ as a distinctly voiced sound, but I'm aware that the sound quality of a UA-cam video and first language influence can play tricks on one's brain. However, /peɪ/ does look like a very awkward transcription for "bay", even in a narrow phonetic transcription. I understand that the voice onset time of /b/ in onset position is significantly shorter than /p/, but vocal folds do vibrate when you say "bay", so I don't see how it can be positive like that of unaspirated voiceless stops.

    I am writing my thesis on TAG so I was interested to have a look at the basics of linguistics. However, when I came to the section about the unaspirated [p] it answered my question about why in US people think my name starts with a B when I say it the way it is pronounced in my mother language :D I always knew the difference of how people pronounce P with a gust of air in English, but without that in Bangla, but now I know what it is in terms of linguistics. Thank you :D
