minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•9 months agoLike someone with a deep US Southern accent saying geese. Gee-uhs.
minus-squaresouthsamurailinkfedilink1•9 months agoAre you my aunt? That’s exactly how she says geese. Her husband says geese as “gays” with a sibilant s rather than the hard s.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•9 months ago… how do you mean? S’s are sibilants in every variation I know if not silent like in French.
minus-squaresouthsamurailinkfedilink1•9 months agoI’m three decades away from my last class, but I thought that the ess sound than an s makes is called a sibilant, where the z sound it makes isn’t. Most people using the word “gays” will have it sound like gayz, or the word gaze. His is that sibilant s like in hissing
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•9 months agoYou make a good point about the voicing distinction that I was unsure of, so I looked it up. According to clearly the most authoritative source on the internet, [s] and [z] are both “hissing” sibilants.
minus-squaresouthsamurailinkfedilink2•9 months agoSee? That’s what getting old does to you, you forget shit left and right, or remember it wrong. I always recommend not getting old, just stop at 40. Seriously though, thanks for the correction.
