>why would you ...What the hell do you mean with <br />>why would you write English phonetically using English pronunciation<br /><br />Because it's easier for English speakers to understand? Because it's more wieldy to use less signs than more? Because there are letters that have different pronunciations in different anglophone regions and distinction would only cause problems?<br /><br />There are so many good reasons to not use IPA when making an actual phonetic (or more accurately phonemic) transcription of English, it boggles the mind to consider it. I'd see reason to use IPA for Ubygh's notorious 80 consonants, anything else might be unclear, though allophones exist; but English is not so unwieldy nor so tonic a tongue as to require this.<br /><br />In addition my hurried attempt was not so strict nor regular as I would attempt were I trying at an actual project, but I simply used a certain set of regular rules:<br /><br />'c' instead of 'k' for [k] - k looks bad and is really quite unecessary<br />'š' for [ʃ[ since it's more common worldwide for that sound and shows its relation to 's'<br />An 'i' assumes a sharp accent when not elided<br />'î' is a pre-elided 'i', see, or you can use 'y' <br />'e' stands for the whole set of [ʌ], [ə] since they are general allophones, as well as general [ɛ]<br />'ð' as an article attaches to its modified noun - this is not necessary but useful<br />'u' instead of 'w' word initially - matter of taste and preference, [w], [ɔ], and [u] (sometimes also [ʊ]) are allophones, I'd argue<br />'ou' represents long [u] for simplicity<br /><br />And I came up with this in maybe five minutes. Do you see now? IPA isn't the be-all, end-all, but a system useful for standardizing sounds across languages. No linguist in his right mind would use it as a transcription.Anon, a mousenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-56351115483807974242011-11-09T16:55:39.620-08:002011-11-09T16:55:39.620-08:00"Why so defensive Blob?

I know certain dictionaries do it, but your way is much less logical, and it's not even completely English, as for some reason you felt like throwing in random phonetical signs. If you're going to use different symbols to represent different phonemes, then at least make a proper phoneme inventory.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10032765137272340262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-5505572169003083842011-11-09T16:52:54.373-08:002011-11-09T16:52:54.373-08:00Why so defensive Blob?

You...Nationalism and racism are mutually exclusive. You can't believe in one and the other at the same time. <br /><br />Say your village or town is situated at a large distance from your national capital, near the border of another state. Say a war breaks out. Genetically, you're much more likely to be related to the people on the other side of the border; on the other hand, you share little culture with them and indeed the two nations hate each other. <br /><br />If you're a nationalist, you would support your nation and your culture against your nation's enemies, though they may be closer to you ethnically. <br /><br />But why, if you're a racist, would you fight against your blood brothers because some less-genetically-related-to-you bigwigs in the capital decreed it? <br /><br />As an example take a dark-haired, fat Bavarian, who considers himself and his nation German but is called to war by the Prussian nordics in Berlin against his brothers in Austria. Which side ought he take? a nationalist would advocate him fighting for Germany, while a racist would not.<br /><br />Similar was the Irish civil war of the 1920s, where brothers fought and killed brothers only over the issue of allegiance to unionism or republicanism. A racist could never sanction this intra-racial struggle, but a nationalist, seeing it as a war between two cultures, definitely would. <br /><br />Epitomized in this distinction, and led into by it, is the issue of intergration. Can a foreign immigrant abandon his blood and side with his new nation, eventually adopting its culture? A racist would say no, but even today I see no Nazis calling Lubeckers or Rostockers, or even Berliners, non-Germanic, though they are Germanized slavs! Apparently, racial distinctions are eliminated by time in racists' eyes. But then what problem is there in a Spaniard integrating into Germany? A Turk? A Nigerian?<br /><br />A true German nationalist would have no problem with a Nigerian coming to Germany, with his children and he adopting Deutschkultur (which they would, eventually - see the Irish and Italians of the 1920s, or the Czechs and Carinthians in medieval Austria). A nationalist would see the state as the cohesive block, not the people.<br /><br />A racist would see there being greater distinction between a Berliner and a Municher than between a Berliner and a Szczeczyn Polack, and would oppose integration. To a racist, the people are more important than the state, in all regards.<br /><br />This led to the fall of the theories of racial nationalism in vogue during the early 1900s. Then, people would argue the Irish to be negroid, or the French to be Trojans! Idiocy, of course, the lot of it.<br /><br /><br />---<br /><br />New rant I typed up, what do y'all think?Anon 11:04noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-16910229610031256372011-11-09T15:35:20.017-08:002011-11-09T15:35:20.017-08:00"...recently you were asked if you had argume..."...recently you were asked if you had arguments, and you said yes, now you say no..."<br /><br />do i have them? yes. am i trying to make them? no.<br /><br />"raping your daughter...)"<br /><br />how is employing facts a strawman argument?<br /><br />"It is so retarded.
