英文鼻音同化

英文有很多包括n的词,用「n」写,但常常声音其实不是[n]。普通的规定:

英文的《鼻音》会《同化》下一个音节的辅音。同时会鼻音后面的辅音,比如:

  • hand + bag 不是[hɑndbɑg],其实说法是[hɑmbbɑg]。[nd] 变成 [mb],听起来是比较长的[b]声音。
  • ten + cups 不是 [tɛn kʌps],其实说法是[tɛŋ kʌps]。[n] 变成 [ŋ]。
  • ten + men 不是 [tɛn mɛn],其实说法是[tɛm mɛn]。[n] 变成 [m]。

有时候,英文变成鼻音的写法:

  • in = 不、非或者无 (但是,不同的「in」词也存在)
  • definite > indefinite (还有[n]声音)
  • mortal > immortal ([n]声音变成了[m],写法也变成了m )

可是:

  • capable > incapable (「n」有[ŋ]声音)
  • formal > informal (「n」有[ɱ]声音)

un = 不、非或者无

  • true > untrue (还有[n]声音)
  • pleasant > unpleasant (「n」的[n]声音变成了[m],写法没变)
  • comfortable > uncomfortable (「n」有[ŋ]声音)
  • fair > unfair (「n」有[ɱ]声音)

英语发音课:添加「r」

Wikipedia会显示下用的声音标记

把个元音(a、e、i、o 或者 u)添加会变化发音。十之八九是有系统地变化。

美国 、澳大利亚 、苏格兰和爱尔兰的英语都通常发音最后的「r」。英格兰的英语通常不发音,只有比较长的元音。比如:

  • 美国:torn 发音[tɔːn]
  • 英格兰:torn 发音[tɔrn]

通常,一个短元音会变城长的「uh」声,相「 和」的中声一样差不多(国际音标[ɜː])。i,e,u都按这个系统变化。

  • bid 变成 bird
  • will 变成 whirl
  • =ɪ 变成 ɜː

  • let 变成 alert
  • pet 变成 pert
  • ten 变成 tern
  • =ɛ 变成 ɜː

  • luck 变成 lurk
  • pull 变成 purl
  • hut 变成 hurt
  • ʌ 还是 ʊ 变成 ɜː

a会变城长的「ah」声:

  • pat 变成 part
  • van 变成 varnish
  • tan 变成 tarn
  • pack 变成 park
  • =a 变成 ɑː

o 比较复杂,有时短地o被发音相 u 一样。尽管短的声音,一添加r,就变成「or」声:

  • pot 变成 port
  • spot 变成 sport
  • =ɒ 变成 ɔː
  • ton 变成 torn
  • honey 变成 hornet
  • =ʊ 变成 ɔː

I've been making use of Sina Weibo 新浪微博 (Sina Weibo) as part of studying Chinese. It's a service somewhere between Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr, if you don't know. Anyway, for most websites with updating content, I get notifications of new articles and so on via RSS feeds, and it was a bit annoying that I had to log into Weibo and manually check for interesting stuff. Apart from anything else it's easier to read a text-only RSS update in my break at work than to load up a non-work website. I wondered if there was a way to get Weibo as an RSS feed from interesting accounts, as I already do for Twitter. It turns out, yes, there is.

Paste a Weibo account number into Sinaapp: http://ishow.sinaapp.com/rss.php

You'll get a link like this to an RSS feed:

http://myrss.sinaapp.com/sina.php?uid=1813080181&item=20

You can also copy the link above and just edit the number (to the correct account number) if you prefer.

If you look at a named account, like Charles Xue, there's apparently no account number, and Sinaapp doesn't work with names. But if you check the sidebar links like 粉丝, some of them include a number in the link, and that's the account number.

For anyone interested in the Twitter method (which isn't mine, I found it but can't remember where):

  1. Find the Twitter account you want
  2. Use Idfromuser, or a similar site, to get the account number from it
  3. Stick the number in here: http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/NUMBER.rss
  4. Add the link to your RSS reader of choice

For example, the Greinneyder can be delivered straight to your inbox with the following link:

As mish shirrey raaghyn ymmydoil, hooar mee y feysht shoh:

When looking at a sentence consisting of Japanese characters, how can you tell when words end and begin? In English each word is seperated, while in Japanese they all run together. Usually I can't tell if the character I'm reading is at the beginning, middle or end of a word. I've tried finding solutions that can help but haven't been successful. (ayns shoh)

As shoh y un ‘reggyrt v’ayn (wahll, ny h-ayrnyn scanshoil):

Hi, there are mainly 3 types of characters in Japanese, hiragana, katakana and kanji, excluding romaji which is the roman characters used to help foreigners for pronunciation.
...[soilshaghey ny 3]
As such, it's possible to write the whole sentence consisting of only hiragana characters. However, this will make the sentence difficult to read because many kanji are pronounced with not only one but few hiragana characters.
...[soilshaghey]
In order to know how Japanese words are formed, you need to have a basic understanding of the above 3 Japanese characters. You can go to the following pages to find out more on each character...
...
You may also want to refer to this page where there are many Japanese words and vocabulary available. You can then see how different combinations of Japanese words are formed.

I am not very sure why you cannot tell when words end and begin in a sentence consisting of Japanese characters. If you understand how Japanese words are formed (as explained above), you shouldn't have any problem with that.

The only problem I can guess is that you may be confused about kanji, because a kanji can be formed with few kanji. For example this kanji 飲 (no) is made up of 2 kanji 食 and 欠. While kanji are more complicated as compared to hiragana and katakana, the theory is the same behind how Japanese words are formed.

I hope I have not confused you further in my explanation. Let me you if you need more help. Or you can give some examples to show your problem.
