    This is truly an excellent introduction. I have a PhD in linguistics, and I will be using this and probably other videos in your series to help my language consultants better understand what we are doing when we analyze their language.

      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!

    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.

    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

    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 года назад

      I, too, perceived that /b/ as a distinctly voiced sound, but I'm aware that the sound quality of a RUclips 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.

    First of all Trev, I really enjoyed this video. I look forward to watching your other ones. If you have one on genre and text analysis or systemic functional linguistics, that would be AWESOME!
    Second, this might not be your area of expertise but why do people (including yourself in this excellent lesson) say on a video "leave some comments so I can hear what you...". Wouldn't it be more correct to say "leave some comments so I can read what you..."?
    Thank you so much!!!

    • @Trevtutor
      @Trevtutor  7 лет назад +1

      It's not the literal use of the word "hear" to mean "physically hear". People want their "voices heard", which isn't literal. So "hearing their thoughts" or "hearing their voice" is just non-literal.
