i had this man as an instructor three winters ago. he is a phonetician. this is a phonetics and phonology class. this will be fun
Want to know why kids don't read for pleasure? The way they teach reading now. "Whole language/Sight reading" hobbles learning the skill to piece a word's meaning from phonetics and roots and context and makes reading a chore long after it should be simple
I taught a couple of phonology-adjacent courses (phonetics & morphology) to a blind student, but that was 20 years ago, so the technological options will have changed. But one thing that worked well for us and may still be relevant is using SAMPA for transcriptions. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAMPA

Out now in Journal of Phonetics! In comparing nasal coarticulation across three languages, our results suggest that vowel nasalization has become a *source* of coarticulation in English, adding further evidence of an ongoing sound change in the language. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Anticipatory contextual nasalization, whereby an oral segment (usually a vowel) preceding a nasal consonant becomes partially or fully nasalized, has …
Things seem to be re-activating over here. Warning: from my account, you'll get chirpy posts on EMCAIL/gesture/phonetics, HEd teaching, cycling, ultra-commuting #TheGreatBritishCommute, but also woes of perimenopause, immigration, and temporary academic employment (I'll be out of work in 11 months).
