Reading a paper from the 70s that uses "unilingual" and I like it. F mixed italo-greek words. Monoglossic?

Kiki boba or whatever but in metallica font like a stroop test. Take note PhD student and hat tip me in your dissertation

Somebody should write “sciatica“ in the Metallica font because that’s how it feels

shit, you're right. Now I can't decide how I pronounce those. Definitely "mouths"

Chandan Narayan @ch-narayan.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

with [u] you got an intrinsically long vowel at least. Now I'm wondering if it's some prosodic thing making that vowel in "myths" long

Trying to figure out why this would happen (analogy, some aerodynamic constriant, etc.) but can't come up w anything. Guess he's got a little Lezgian in him

I saw them in SF when this record came out. Mind melting, though before the show damon che and my friend got into a heated tête-à-tête

This would be the prediction given VOT/vdur relationship (Port and Rotunno, 70s) + the word-length effect of stressed vowel shortening the longer the word gets. I don't know of any direct study of this though

$40 to see the ex?! Thought they were anarchists

Any theory as to why this happens in PD? Does it reflect some continental dialect?

Elsevier: we will join the lawsuit against Meta for copyright infringement for AI training. Elsevier: Yes, this AI representation of an ear is an accurate representation for this mathematical model. Fig. 1. Schematic figure representing (...) the cochlea. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

$AI generated image of the inner ear. It shows an ear and then a spiral channel that just continues in fractal way inside with nonesensical patterns and labels like Scala vestibuli in the ear lobe, sensorineural hearing loss located in one of the trippy spirals and "Sluid fluid flow"$

That is to say, it’s rock. Whatever that means now!

Chandan Narayan @ch-narayan.bsky.social · 09/05/2026

That’s interesting. it’s usually gone the other way ofc with “rock“ nudged into pop territory. In the mid90s we‘d say a band sold out if the next album had keyboards on it! The ChXCX just sounds like normal pop but w guitars and real player

The way those drums come in on that first track. Chef‘s kiss. Pretty sure me and George Chen drove down to Santa Cruz to see them when this came out

@phono-logical.bsky.social Matt Galloway on CBC metro morning repeatedly said “genuine-ly” [dʒɛnjuwajnli] what’s up with that?
