Your intuition about the stress going on the second-to-last syllable corresponds to the usual rule for stress in words ending in the suffix -ic. I made a list of the exceptions to this rule here: words pronounced with stress patterns like in “politics”, “lunatics”, etc.? )

I would not recommend pronouncing the consonant corresponding to “ch” as /t/ or //, since those correspond poorly to the etymology from Polish/Slavic ” Lech “.

Which pronunciation is best or has the /x/ sound?

(Also, it says the etymology is from “German lechitisch “, which as far as I know would actually be pronounced with the sound , not . For example,

it’s common for English to replace this sound with /k/ when adapting words from foreign languages, so I would expect /lktk to also be considered acceptable.

I found a list of ” Rules of English Allophones” that seems to have been uploaded by John Alderete of Simon Fraser University. It doesn’t seem to say it is specific to American English, but it lists some rules that I don’t think are common in British accents, such as voicing and flapping/tapping of intervocalic alveolar stops before unstressed vowels. The list is based on Peter Ladefoged’s A course in phonetics.

Continuum pronouns like one and somebody where one, somebody’s

is spelled one’s. What are some of the different types of pronouns? How many people remember to use the mnemonic “and doesn’t have an apostrophe for its usage in the English alphabet.” Do pronouns in english have possessive forms? The pronoun it belongs to a particular subset of pronouns that have irregular (or at least irregularly spelled) possessive forms.

the Rimer’s answer describes yours, His, hers, ours, theirs, its as “standard” possessive pronouns. This would make such a short answer useful. For some people, it might help to think of this instead in terms of “definite pronouns” and ” indefinite pronouns “.

Why do many people use definite pronouns you, he, she, it, we they have possessive forms that are spelled without an apostrophe even though they end in “s”. (Some definite words have possessive forms that don’t even end in “s”, such as my/mine, her, our, their.) But

the more numerous indefinite words ( one, someone, somebody, nobody, another, etc.) take the usual -‘s to mark the possessive.

Am I only 14? No No? N NO SINGLE NIQUE LENGTH? As Tenfour noted in a comment, there’s also interrogative and relative pronoun who, which has an irregularly spelled possessive form whose.

How one and one’s is different from other indefinite pronouns

The possessive of one ( one’s ) is formed the same way as the possessive of other indefinite pronouns, such as someone ( someone’s ), but it is used a bit differently. For most people, one is consistently used with the possessive form one’s. Other indefinite pronouns can (in fact, must) be referenced in some situations with the possessive form of a third-person definite pronoun like her, her or their. Trying to remind me what I mean

• by “left their hat on the table”, someone or something on TV left its hat on the table and then asked to come back, and say what happened.

• don’t like to get their word doubted.

A Dictionary of Modern English Usage, by H. W. Fowler ( OUP’s “Classic” First Edition) The linked

passage in Fowler mentions that ” One does not like to have his word doubted” also existed in his time as a competing form. I don’t know to what extent modern writers use “his- or maybe their” in sentences like this, but it’s definitely less common than one’s.

One is another way that one is unlike the other indefinite pronouns is that it has a special reflexive form, oneself or othersself.

Is pronouncing “on the” with normal in native English- accents? English speakers usually have some gestural overlap between a nasal and a following consonant (related question) Why do dictionaries transcribe the nasal in some of the words ‘think’ and ‘language’ with //, yet ‘input’ and ‘inbox’ with /n/, not /m/? )) What happens to a nasal in this position tends to sound like it has the same place of articulation of the following consonant. Gestural overlap is especially likely to affect coronal consonants such as /n/ (in fact, non–nasal coronal consonants such as /t/ and /d/ also have gestural overlap with a following consonant in many contexts), and is not so likely to affect a consonant as spelled in the next sentence (to the letter “C”). a phrase like “goo d b oy” may be realized with or “ou tp ost” may be realized with ).

In a standard English accent, “the” starts with the consonant phoneme /. This can be realized as a voiced dental fricative or sometimes as a voiced dental stop . Sometimes, it can even be lenited to an approximant or elided completely, or assimilate in nasality to a preceding /n/. I don’t know of any accent where the definite article is common realized with velar point of articulation. What is the difference between the preceding /n/ and . Is a preceding /n of dental nasal, expected to cause a preceding /n/ to be realized as a dental nasal?

How was your English pronunciation if you studied Romance languages and understood Russian?

If “on” is needed before “ong” with /g/ or /k/, it will sound natural for “on” to sound like “ong”, for example in a phrase like “On g ood terms with…” or “comittee on Commerce and Industrial Policy”.
