Re: Help your fluency in a nifty way

I don't have a proper job yet so all day I'm either at the beach, in the park, or just at home under the A/C, and in the meantime I'm learning languages and sleeping with guys, and at the weekend I'm going to babysit a friend's cats. Això és el somni, amic. Relax, nois i gats *enveja* That's the dr...

Re: Whence aspirated stops and nasal vowels?

Galician has "min" for "mim", but "si" for "sim/si", and "así" for "assim", btw. Though I dunno how much of that is standarized Castilian influence.

Re: Whence aspirated stops and nasal vowels?

I don't think so. To be fair I don't know the exact etymology, but that -n is surely a regular phonetical development. You may think it comes directly from VL * ad sic , but it's not a phonetically irregular nasalization, just a previous irregular appearance of an "-n" that nasalized. Extremaduran h...

Re: Whence aspirated stops and nasal vowels?

No, I wasn't counting nasals, since they're analyzed separately most of the time - I meant p, t, k, b, d, g... nasals and liquids don't trigger that. The exception is _nsC_ which can do that; monstruo - [ˈmõʰ.ˈtʰɾwo] but by far the majority of people I know have [ˈmoʰ.ˈtʰɾwo]. Nasalization works odd...

Re: Whence aspirated stops and nasal vowels?

No instances occurred to me before... but trying to invoke some now: escueto: ehkwéto "scarce" (I can't think of one with -stue-), but estruendo is very obviously aspirated It does seem aspirated. Maybe respuesta 's is labialized and it interferes? It's just very subtle, they're allophones for me so...

Re: Whence aspirated stops and nasal vowels?

It's also worth noting it's not only coda /s/ that triggers this phenomenon because basically most codas are [h] and trigger aspiration in my dialect - so for instance actitud is also ahthitú(h), apto/acto áhtho, etc... practically anything that isn't a nasal or a liquid. Though by no means a common...

Re: Whence aspirated stops and nasal vowels?

Some Spanish dialects are in the process of gaining aspiration via s > h in the coda, which can turn a following stop into an aspirate and delete, so instead of standard /estaðo/ and widespread [ehtaðo], it's instead [etʰaðo]. I've never heard of that before, but that's extremely interesting. Could...

Re: La Taverna Catalana

No, no és pas això, estava pensant en el dialecte que més practico ara. Alemany(a) és l'adjectiu, i alemà és la llengua, però l'he buscat i pareix que es poden fer servir ambdues formes - i que alemà sols és comú en el dialecte valencià.
