Episode 44: Diacritics Part 2

Saturday, April 26, 2014 • Duration 01:18:50

http://www.yorku.ca/earmstro/glossonomia/Glossonomia/Media/glossonomia_44_diacritics_pt2.mp3In Part Two of this series on Diacritics, Phil Thompson and Eric Armstrong discuss the intricacies of diacritic symbols and what they mean when applied to vowel and consonant symbols of the IPA. The guys follow along with the list of diacritic marks on the Wikipedia page for the International Phonetic Alphabet. The episode begins at laminal diacritic, which Wikipedia classifies as part of the “articulation diacritics”, and continue on to discuss “co-articulation diacritics” and “suprasegmentals”.

Episode 43: Diacritics Part 1

Tuesday, April 8, 2014 • Duration 50:02

http://www.yorku.ca/earmstro/glossonomia/Glossonomia/Media/glossonomia_43_diacritics.mp3Though Phil and Eric had intended to cover all the diacritical marks in the IPA in this podcast, they just couldn’t do it. In fact, Eric’s recorder stopped recording after 45 minutes, though they kept talking for 15 more minutes... so this is merely an introduction to diacritics, not an exhaustive review of all of them. For reference, the boys work their way through the symbols following the order that the wikipedia article on the International Phonetic Alphabet’s section on diacritics takes, so you might want to follow along.

Episode 34: Fricatives

Wednesday, April 11, 2012 • Duration 01:46:27

http://www.yorku.ca/earmstro/glossonomia/Glossonomia/Media/glossonomia_ep34_fricatives.mp3Hosts Phil Thompson and Eric Armstrong work their way across the Pulmonic Consonant Chart, focusing in on the Fricative row. Though they do cover English fricatives [θ ð f v s z ʃ ʒ], they go into much greater depth on the non-English sounds [ɸ β ʂ ʐ ç ʝ x ɣ χ ʁ ħ ʕ ʜ ʢ h ɦ ]. (note that they follow the IPA chart on the wikipedia page, which sort of blends the very back fricatives with the approximants.)

Episode 33: R Vowels, part deux

Tuesday, April 3, 2012 • Duration 01:33:05

http://www.yorku.ca/earmstro/glossonomia/Glossonomia/Media/glossonomia_ep33_vowelr_diphthongs_triphthongs.mp3Today, Phil and Eric finish off our four part trifecta on R, with a deep discussion of linking r, instrusive r, triphthongs and other R-ful tidbits to delight and enthral you.

Episode 32: Affricates

Tuesday, March 27, 2012 • Duration 56:50

http://www.yorku.ca/earmstro/glossonomia/Glossonomia/Media/glossonomia_ep32_affricates.mp3In this Episode, Phil and Eric talk about the consonant sounds known as Affricates. The sounds, which begin with a stop and release into a fricative, are important in English, as there are two affricates we use on a regular basis: /tʃ/ and /dʒ/.

Phil and Eric also discuss non-English affricates, the difference between an affricate and a stop-affricate pair (as in the difference between ratchet and rat-shit, which exemplify both).

Episode 31: R Vowels

Saturday, March 17, 2012 • Duration 01:14:56

http://www.yorku.ca/earmstro/glossonomia/Glossonomia/Media/glossonomia_31_r_vowels.mp3In this episode, Phil and Eric start to unpack the overstuffed suitcase known as rhotic vowels, or r-colored vowels. They cover things like what a rhotic vowel is, the possible use of syllabic consonant R [ɹ̩] rather than using vowel r’s, the difference between rhotic-schwa (aka “schwar,” “r-colored schwa,” or even “flying-schwa”) and rhotic-turned-epsilon (aka “rhotic-3” or “flying-3”). That’s ɚ or ɝ. There is also discussion of the possibility of other rhotic vowels, such as ɑ˞ or ɔ˞. Phil and Eric leave plenty of room for further discussion on future episodes on R-vowels!

Episode 30: R Consonants

Sunday, November 20, 2011 • Duration 01:32:16

http://www.yorku.ca/earmstro/glossonomia/Glossonomia/Media/glossonomia_30_r_consonants.mp3After our overview episode last week, Phil and Eric look in greater detail at the full range of R consonant variation. We follow the Rhotic Consonants page on wikipedia as a means of tracking the various possible articulations. You can follow along, too!

We cover:
• Trills
• Alveolar [r]
• Uvular [ʀ]
• Retroflex [ɽ]
• Taps and flaps
• Alveolar tap [ɾ]
• Alveolar lateral flap [ɺ]
• Retroflex flap [ɽ]
• Labiodental flap (perceived as non-rhotic) [ⱱ] • [ɹ] • Molar approximant (aka “braced” /r/) -- see on the VASTA discussion and Erik Singer’s “anchor” [] • [ɻ] • [ʁ]

Episode 29: R Overview

Sunday, November 13, 2011 • Duration 59:27

http://www.yorku.ca/earmstro/glossonomia/Glossonomia/Media/Glossonomia_29_r_overview.mp3We’ve been moaning about this one, and now we have to face it: we’re tackling the category of sounds that have an R quality, and this episode gets Phil and Eric talking about vowel and consonant R, similarities to semi-vowels, trills, taps, fricatives, approximants, and even the lowered third formant associated with the acoustic qualities of R-ish-ness. We talk about the history of the letter shape, rhotic and non-rhotic accents, and much more.

Episode 28: goat

Wednesday, November 2, 2011 • Duration 01:25:43

http://www.yorku.ca/earmstro/glossonomia/Glossonomia/Media/GlossonomiaEp28GOAT.mp3We’re going to get your goat with this episode: Phil and Eric tackle the lexical set goat, that mirrors the set in last episode, face. They discuss the sound of the diphthong and monophthong versions and the history of both the phone and even the letter shape.

Episode 27: face

Monday, October 24, 2011 • Duration 01:39:41

http://www.yorku.ca/earmstro/glossonomia/Glossonomia/Media/Episode%2027%20FACE.mp3Phil and Eric face the music on this one: they tackle the ticklishly intriguing face lexical set, and discuss diphthongs, monophthongs and other phthings, er, things related to the set! And Eric manages to avoid making his lame joke about dip-thongs (something about small European bathing suits...)

In the course of things, they discuss the chart on wikipedia that lays out the sound changes of the Great Vowel Change. Follow along with the chart while listening!

They also discuss the breve (which wikipedia says is pronounced [bɹiv] though we say [bɹɛv] through the whole episode) and the nonsyllabic diacritics, which look like this respectively (though I can’t seem to get them to line up with the small cap i symbol...):
