Zompist Bboard Again

- auxiliary verbs ("we should do...") - passive verbs with a subclause ("we are required to do...") - active verbs with a subclause (Arabic istaTa3a 'can' which is followed by a subordinator and a subclause with a subjunctive verb) Just asking, what is the difference between them.

and then voicing the lenis for an overabundance of voiced consonants what would trigger this tho? Assuming the lenis stop comes from English voiced stops, it's possible that they're not voiceless to begin with. In RP, voiced consonant is partially/optionally devoiced both word initially and word fi...

- Syllable structure: (C)V(C). Any possible medial cluster restriction? There are no definite articles, but there is an archaic definite suffix. The definite suffix is not productive and has become archaic by the time of Classical Sitr and is only seen in some set phrases or some earliest records(i...

How is that "proper terminology"? Absolutive vs. possessed seems more consistent with how languages around Nahuatl are described whereas "construct" seems to be limited to Afroasiatic and doesn't mean the same thing as possessed in Nahuatl. Usually, absolutive means absolutive c...

Nahuatl, you should choose a proper terminology, why is the term "Absolutive" and "Possessed" when you can use the term "Non-construct" and "Construct"?

The term possessed is also used for describing Nahuatl noun. Although, it's not considered a case marking. However, given the other form is named absolutive, it's just waiting a unwitting person to call it "case". And in fact, I thought that as Nahuatl case until I read further.

Well, which word in English is reduced and what environment is it reduced. All I know is: Some preposition before noun Pronoun adjacent to verbs Possessive pronoun to before verb Definite and indefinite article It's stressed when In V+PP construction Emphasized Are you asking about vowel reduction ...

It's pronounced as rising in that environment. I'm not sure I agree it's high rising (although there probably are sources that say it is). Whoops sorry, my Mandarin teacher used to say it's pronounced as the second tone. It's actually another simplification, like b and p is pronounced as each other...

My first choice for tones is diacritics that match the tone contour, as in pinyin Though Mandarin is unusually suited to that approach Why do you think this is? and really only if you think of its low tone in terms of the contour it gets when spoken in isolation. This is true. But tone sandhi makes...

I think /ʔ/ can turn into /ŋ ɴ/ through rhinoglottophilia. Apparently similiar phenomena occurs in Standard Tibetian before velar consonant. (Here, h̩ is actually h with underdot and it's originated from Proto Tibeto-Burma *ʔ) h̩č'am-pa > ñč'ampa h̩t'ag-pa > nt'agpa h̩gul-ba > ŋgul-ba However, this...

Well, which word in English is reduced and what environment is it reduced. All I know is:

1. Some preposition before noun
2. Pronoun adjacent to verbs
3. Possessive pronoun
4. to before verb
5. Definite and indefinite article

It's stressed when

1. In V+PP construction
2. Emphasized

No, you must either unconditionally delete the intervocalic semivowels or only /j/ for front vowel or /w/ for unrounded vowel. I’m not quite sure what to do now… Whimemsz has already said almost exactly the opposite. I think I’ll wait for now until a couple more people reply with their opinions. (A...

1. Can the glottal stop do anything other than disappearing or turning into /h/? Yes, being treated as voiceless consonant, so if you devoice vowel between voiceless consonant, you can do that. Another way is to combine it with another stop to form an ejective. Or to combine with vowel to form a cr...
