I am slowly leaning towards calling Serbian a restricted tone system in my work; and I am gathering materials for a potential article on whether Serbian is a pitch accent or restricted tone system or something else, but it is an interesting case, for sure.

My pleasure! :)

Impressionistically, yes, we could probably say this, but I don't see any evidence for it, at least not in Stoney (for now, we need a proper research on this).

I remember that we wrote down that potentially pharyngeals could be rhoticized, but with no secondary articulation for sure. In addition, in some informal inspections of the spectrograms of words such as 'roro' or 'rheyam', there was no rhotic articulation, so I tend to agree here with Dr. Flynn.

I can definitely see the value in the proposed r-flavoured epiglottal fricative /ʜ/. The main issue is that we cannot carry out the research on any aspect of the language without the authorization from the community and the company. This makes it a bit difficult for me to support the-above claim.

So far, from what we know from Morley Stoney, and mind you, there is not a lot of research, we don't think that Stoney has epiglottal fricatives but rather pharyngeal fricatives /ħ, ʕ/. For example: dictionary.stoneynakoda.org#/L/rhoka.

Thanks both. Let me unpack everything you wrote and get back to you. :)

Great book. Would be nice to have it in the lab 📚

I would love to be added 🙋🏻‍♂️

Oh yes, I totally understand…

Honestly, for me it was simply a show, so I really liked it. I would not use it as an example referring to accurate historical events. I don’t do that with any show out there. But if you need something accurate, then I don’t have any suggestions. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The most recent I watched is Shogun, and it’s brilliant. I also liked a comedy called The Marvellous Mrs. Maisel (if that counts).

An explanation can be found in Keith Johnson’s work on vowel normalization. You created a phoneme/ a category of the vowel /a/ while acquiring the language, there is also the frequency effect, the recency effect, etc. I will do my best to create a video about it and notify you :)

I don't, but that would be a nice topic to explore and share. Would you prefer a Praat tutorial or a more theoretic approach?

The podcast is now hosted by another linguist from our department, Brooklyn Shepard, and Brooklyn is doing an amazing work! Listen and enjoy! 🙌🏻🎧 cjsw.com/program/ling...

Some of my guests were amazing @phono-logical.bsky.social and @swinters.bsky.social

Absolutely! Although I would like to try myself in a Gramle tournament 🏟️ 😀
