#dialectology — Public Fediverse posts

Since learning the South Jutlandic dialect of Danish from my wife, I've always been aware that – compared to standard Danish – many final syllables are omitted, so they rely much more on tone and length to distinguish words.

I've recently found a verb that is conjugated entirely through tones and lengths. ‘at vende’ – ‘to turn’:

vende – /vɛ̌nː/
vender – /vɛ̂n/ or /vɛn̰/
vendte – /věːn/
vendt – /vêːn/ or /vḛːn/

determined by geography

maps are valuable in linguistics 😍
now we see Switzerland

I was interviewed in @WillametteWeek about the @pop_vs_soda map I made a million years ago: https://www.wweek.com/drink/2024/04/18/do-you-say-pop-or-soda/

I guess it's about time to create a Mastodon account for that project...

The epic linguistic map came up in conversation at work today, so today is one of those days to regularly to pause and spend some time admiring this map of North American English dialects by Rick Aschmann:

I've recently noticed a pronunciation in American English of auxiliaries/modals ending in [d] with a cliticized negative particle, where the [d] is dropped and the negative particle is pronounced with a schwa-like sound – so, for example, _couldn't_ is pronounced /'kʊnət/, _didn't_ is pronounced /'dɪnət/, and so on. I'm wondering whether this is a new thing or whether I've just never noticed it (it seems to be rare). Anybody familiar with AmE #dialectology know more about this? @linguistics

TIL that some speakers inflect the “on X's behalf” construction for plural, labiodental voicing and all, and it's truly blown my mind

Here’s my #introduction. I’m a #linguistics #nerd who specializes in #LVC ( #language #variation and change) #sociolinguistics #rstats and #dialectology. I am especially interested in the #English language in the #Maritimes in eastern #Canada. I teach at #universityofoxford. I also love #cooking #ukulele #litrpg and am super #gay @linguistics

I just heard an American using the word *pianist*, and it only had two syllables! 🙀

I’m used to someone, like me, who plays the /ˈpʲæ.no/ being called a /ˈpi.ə.nɪst/ #BrE

But – and I don’t know how I’ve never heard this before – now I know that an American might call me a /ˈpʲæ.nɪst/ #AmE

Not sure what would happen to words like pianism and pianistic though 🤷‍♀️
