In the dialect here Maryland is /ˈmɛ̝rələnd/ [ˈmɛ̝ːʁˤɯːɰɘ̃ːnt] -- I have never actually heard anyone pronounce it *Mary-land */ˈmɛ̝riːˌlænd/ *[ˈmɛ̝ːʁˤiːˌʟ̞ɛ̃ːnt]. Agreed. I don't live anywhere Maryland, and have never heard anyone pronounce it "Mary-land". I grew up there and I have. Many...

Isn't the global housing crisis just urbanization? Housing is cheap in places that don't have jobs, but expensive in places that do. Most jobs used to be in agriculture; now they're in providing domestic services to people with Anglo-Norman job titles. The issue in the US is that the Anglo-Normans h...

Housing in America is both a necessary good and a positional good, and high housing prices in the US should be seen as the outcome of policies that are popular with voters and that patch unpopular issues with the policy (which is not subject to democratic review and which most Americans are not even...

Are there US dialects that have the cot-caught merger but not the poor-pour merger, and have long vowel diphthongization and l-breaking? In the VC model, l-breaking is easy to explain as epenthesis to break up a disallowed coda cluster /jl/ (it never coexists with PRICE monophthongization), similarl...

GA has a fairly normal vowel inventory on paper: /æ ɑ e ʌ o i ɚ u/, and /ɚ/ could be analyzed away. But there are some details - the relationship between vowels and coda consonants get more detailed the more sonorous the consonant is, and /l r j w/ are complicated - especially /w/, before which vowe...

I realize this is a lost battle by now, but both of you are demonstrating that "liberal" has no meaning any more. The people who love the NYT are centrists; that is, moderate and conservative Democrats, and whatever little fringe of moderate Republicans still exist. Given that we live in ...

This is one of the mistakes the Democrats made. Who the hell cares about the Washington Post? Liberals do, and they love patting themselves on the back for it. Right, second only to the New York Times... which is an absolute monarchy. Oops! It's pretty funny how illiberal the liberal sense-making i...

Mainstream media? What's that? There's legacy media and there's new media. Newspapers don't matter anymore. People who engage in the recreational consumption and production of written text often don't realize how many people are not comfortably literate - if you rely on writing to distribute your m...

It's one of the example texts from Kim. I thought the preponderance of final coronals - especially -st -zd - would give it away as Iranian.

Yes. How? Neikrumon Ibrukhim's orthography isn't listed on Wikipedia.
