    Credits front layout and design Victor Raymond cover illustration Giovanna Fregni editorial help SampleChris Davis file ©M. A. R. Barker, 2002 Bednálljan THE SCRIPT OF THE FIRST IMPERIUM By M. A. R. BARKER “Bednálljan Salarvyáni” is a Khíshan language, related to Tsolyáni, Mu’ugalavyáni, and others of the family. It is a member in a long tradition, dating all the way back to Llyáni in far-off Livyánu; yet the stages of this process are anything but clear. One important fact is its close relationship to Irzákh, the tongue of the Dragon Warriors of N’lüss. The language can only tenuously be connected to Bednállja, the small princpality that once occupied the shores of Tamkáde BaySample in what is now file Western Salarvyá. The First Imperium, the empire founded by Queen Nayári of Jakálla, in southern Tsolyánu, was the primary cause for the prominence of both the language and the name: what “Bednálljan Salarvyáni.” Had she and her court not spoken of Bednállja as their original cultural and spiritual “homeland,” the language might well have been called something else entirely. “Bednálljan Salarvyáni” is not a single unified linguistic corpus. There were many dialectical changes during the First Imperium. Time and events have eroded the visibility of many of these: cognates, morphological and syntactic similarities, and sound shifts. What is left is a basic strong relationship, however, as can be seen from tomb inscriptions and historical texts, plus such non-linguistic cultural sequences as pottery, coins, and later records. Perhaps a dozen major dialects emerged from the chaos of the crumbling kingdoms of the Fisherman Kings.

  • Icelandic Phonetic Transcription
    A Short Overview of the Icelandic Sound System Pronunciation Variants and Phonetic Transcription IPA Version Eiríkur Rögnvaldsson SÍM 2020 This document was written in December 2019 and January 2020 for the SÍM consortium as a part of the Icelandic National Language Technology Program. The document is made in two versions – one using the IPA transcription system and the other using the X-SAMPA transcription system. This is the IPA version. Both versions begin with a table showing the mappings between the two systems. The document is distributed under the CC BY 4.0 license. 2 1 An Overview of the Icelandic Sound System Icelandic speech sounds can be divided into two main groups; consonants and vowels. Icelandic consonants can be further divided into four classes: plosives (stops), fricatives (and approximants), nasals, and liquids (laterals and trills/taps). Within the vowel group, a further distinction can be made between monophthongs and diphthongs. The following table gives an overview of the phonemes of the Icelandic IPA and X- SAMPA symbol set, grouped by the phoneme classes to which they belong (according to the manner of their articulation). Consonants IPA SAMPA Orthography IPA SAMPA Gloss Plosives p p bera [pɛːra] /pE:ra/ ‘carry’ pʰ p_h pera [pʰɛːra] /p_hE:ra/ ‘pear’ t t dalur [taːlʏr] /ta:lYr/ ‘valley’ tʰ t_h tala [tʰaːla] /t_ha:la/ ‘talk’ c c gera [cɛːra] /cE:ra/ ‘do’ cʰ c_h kæla [cʰaiːla] /c_hai:la/ ‘cool off’ k k galdur [kaltʏr] /kaltYr/ ‘magic’ kʰ k_h kaldur [kʰaltʏr] /k_haltYr/ ‘cold’ Fricatives v v vera [vɛːra] /vE:ra/ ‘be’

Phonological changes are called weakenings when they are steps on the natural path that leads to deletion. (b) Weakening is something that happens to both consonants and vowels but in different ways. So we’ll look at the two cases separately 1 2 Consonant Weakening t tt t D ∅ T Figure 1: The scale of weakening 2 Degemination tt t t D Frication t T t t Voicing T D Deletion D ∅ Figure 2: Weakening processes 3 Weakening Early Late Gloss Degeminaton (tt > t) mittere, L meter,S ‘put’ ¯¯ ¯ Voicing (t > d) m¯at¯urus, L maduro,OS ‘ripe’ ¯ ¯ Frication (d > D) maduro, OS maduro[D], S ‘ripe’ ¯ ¯ Deletion (d > ∅) maDyr, OF mˆur[myK],F ‘ripe’ Figure 3: Consonant weakening in Romance (L = Latin, OS = Old Spanish, OF = Old French, F = French, S = Spanish) 4 3 Vowel Weakening The main process leading up to vowel deletion is vowel reduction, which generally means centralizing a vowel, which generally means turning it into @, see Figure 4.

  • Computer-Coding the IPA: a Proposed Extension of SAMPA J.C.Wells, University College London
    Computer-coding the IPA: a proposed extension of SAMPA J.C.Wells, University College London 1. Computer coding. When an ASCII file (a DOS text file) is sent as an e-mail message, the only characters that are sure to be properly transmitted are those with ASCII/ANSI numbers between 32 and 126. These comprise upper-case A..Z, lower-case a..z, numerals 0..9, punctuation marks ! " ' ( ) , - . / : ; ? [ ] { }, other marks # $ % & * + < = > @ \ ^ _ ` | ~, and space. If we want to transmit phonetic symbols, we must therefore recode them using only these characters. It is not even the case that all the 'other marks' mentioned will necessarily reappear correctly at the receiving end: on my own British screen, for example, an incoming character originally transmitted as a hash mark (#) appears as pound sterling (£). But at least there is a consistent one- for-one substitution, so that information is not lost. On the other hand an outgoing character falling outside the range 32..126 is very likely to be converted into something else: a pound sterling sign (£, ASCII 156, ANSI 0163) transmitted from a British keyboard may be received (even in the UK) as an exclamation mark (!), hash (#), or other substitute. 2. The SAM Phonetic Alphabet (SAMPA) conventions were drawn up in 1988-1991 (with subsequent minor revisions and extensions) by the SAM (Speech Assessment Methods) consortium, comprising speech scientists from nine countries of the European Community (Wells et al, 1992). The purpose of SAMPA was to form the basis of an international standard machine-readable phonetic alphabet for purposes of international collaboration in speech research.

  • The Apophonic Chain and the Form of Weak and Strong Verbs in Palestinian Arabic
    The Linguistic Review 2017; 34(1): 83–121 Noam Faust* The apophonic chain and the form of weak and strong verbs in Palestinian Arabic DOI 10.1515/tlr-2016-0006 Abstract: This paper explores the logic behind the various morpho-phonological subdivisions in the verbal system of Palestinian Arabic. It argues for the importance in the understanding of Palestinian Arabic of the apophonic chain proposed for Classical Arabic in Guerssel and Lowenstamm (1993). In Palestinian, it is first argued, the Measure 1 perfective template includes a hard-wired association of its two vocalic positions; the main differences in vocalization between the Palestinian and Classic varieties follow from this fact. The account is then extended to include three large subclasses of weak verbs. Following the analysis of Classical Arabic in Chekayri and Scheer (1996), it is argued that such verbs involve a null element ø, whose realization is determined by the apophonic chain. The second part of the paper provides an account of the entire inflectional paradigms of each of the verbs discussed, a task that was not fully undertaken in previous work. The mechanism of apophony is shown to be at work in this domain, too. An interesting case is discussed of an apparent shift in inflectional paradigm in some forms of the biradical verb. This shift is again shown to follow from the general mechanisms used in the analysis. Keywords: Palestinian Arabic, morphology, verb, inflection, apophony 1 General introduction This paper treats the verbal system of Palestinian Arabic, with emphasis on vowel alternations. Concentrating on Measure I verbs, all the inflectional forms of all major classes are treated.
