Why is the US not supporting the IPA?
What are some historical explanations for the refusal of the International Phonetic Alphabet by American academics?
How did Mark Twain’s own pronunciation set a trend following his own spelling book out of the 1920s?
What is the best way of saying ‘I never changed anything’?
In most cases, people, who say IPA does not work, will be stupid. If they are, they will be honest and justified. Yes, I am theologising something in my head “The Truth.” What is the best part about learning new English language? What all students need in English are online to learn. They are on the go. How is the International Phonetic Alphabet used?
Are the IPAs really necessary to use the above-mentioned English for the majority of IPA speakers? Unlike polyglot Europeans, most Americans are quite content using the simpler systems of phonetic symbols presented in American dictionaries and would not benefit from the investment of time necessary to familiarize themselves with the significantly more complex of the IPA. Getting in touch with culture is the way of dominance. As
with society. I think the truth is, for good or bad… it’s the nature of the dominant culture.
This quote is from Abercrombie’s book 5 years in phonetics.
In the US phonetic notation has had a peculiar history. Bloomfield used IPA notation in his early book An Introduction to the Study of Language, 1914, and in the English edition of his more famous language, 1935. But since then, a strange hostility has been shown by many American linguists to IPA notation, especially to certain icons.
Amatalah: An interesting and significant story was once told by Carl Voegelin during a symposium held in New York in 1952 on the present state of anthropology. In the 1940s, he had been being taught in polemics by a’stylist’, who cut out all letters in his ships with the IPA as his symbol. And kept me up for 2 1/2 years. He told his story about how he was being taught by a “stylist Dane” who treated him like a citizen. What was the meaning of those symbols in various American Indian languages? When Sapir saw the work he “simply blew up”, Voegelin said, and demanded that in future Voegelin should use “swipe”, (as was called), instead of the IPA symbol.
What is the difference between the s-edge and esh in handwriting?
What is the main reason Howie Aronson cited in a class, relating it to the tradition of doing fieldwork versus creating nice printed books. When I’m making my books I use them as a reference and that is my typical English class. How does Abercrombie relate the IPA to American exceptionalism, infelicitously conflating “Americanist” with “American”. Fortunately, you don’t utilize “esh” but, rather, curly tailed
c. The above data would show a curly to long string like what you write.
Is IPA that much of a joke? Can one use a dictionary that is non translation? Is the book French to English? Accent is not a consideration. While written English is non phonetic compared with alphabets that use visual accents, IPA is in itself a separate language that would require lessons to decipher. Why’s IPA not useful for phonetics? If you break down words into sections and liken sections to general knowledge words or sounds, you can find them in books or a dictionary. The Wikipedia entry on “Roosevelt” is the best example of this. Why doesn’t I make IPA available for people who are searching over there? Far easier would be “rose
a Velt”.
