Just when I thought I was nailing plosives, you do the favor of introduce me to the terms "nasal release", "clusters overlap", "partiatly devoing", "setting"... the list goes on. This video is summary and a great demonstration of important terms that aren't fairly uncovered by teachers. Thank you so much, I'll definitely recommend it.
When pronouncing “textbook”, should I complete elide the /t/, making it sound like [tɛksbɵk], or should I make a stop sequence with non-released /t/ [tɛkst̚bɵk]?
Hi Ed, I rewatched your video today. I have a question. At, 3:25, does the nasal consonants m and n devoiced after unvoiced plosive. For example, shipment, doesnt m devoiced by p? Can nasal consonats be voicelsss at all? Thanks.
'Where', 'why' and 'what' contain the voiced labio-velar approximant /w/, which I discussed in this video: czcams.com/video/ho1a-OfxbpM/video.html 'Who' contains the unvoiced glottal fricative /h/, which I discussed in this video: czcams.com/video/cgBXJr46ea0/video.html
Are these aspiration rules the same for Conservative Received Pronounciation? Another doubt: I didn't understand if we have to aspirate "k", "t" and "p" before "r", "l" and the semivowels.
The rules are the same but there was less aspiration in traditional RP. Yes, unvoiced plosives /p/ /t/ and /k/ are aspirated before /r/ /l/ /w/ and /j/
Do we have to aspirate these sounds if they are the first sound in the word but not in the stressed syllable like "polite"? Do we have to aspirate them if they aren't in the first syllable but are in the first sound of a stressed syllable like "attack"? Do we have to aspirated them if they aren't in a stressed syllable like "better"?
But at the beginning of all stressed syllables? I didn't understand this because you gave us only examples in the first syllable. What about the word "attack? The "t" is at the beginning of a stressed syllable but it isn't the first syllable of the word.
In my language, there is no contrast in voicing. People distinguish plosives by aspiration. So, pronouncing voiced plosives is really difficult for me.

@@Sergio-hn9vr Usually, the /t/ sound is completely elided
So that's why it's transcribed as [tɛ́ksbɵk] in CUBE dictionary. Thank you so much

@@cheuklunleung1509 No, nasals are not devoiced after plosives. Devoicing usually only occurs at the end of words or after aspirated plosives.
What about the aspirated h in non plosives like the W in where, why, who, what? I can't find anyone discussing this
'Where', 'why' and 'what' contain the voiced labio-velar approximant /w/, which I discussed in this video: czcams.com/video/ho1a-OfxbpM/video.html

@@filipeferreira-q8k Unvoiced plosives /p/ /t/ & /k/ are only aspirated at the beginning of stressed syllables.
But at the beginning of all stressed syllables? I didn't understand this because you gave us only examples in the first syllable. What about the word "attack? The "t" is at the beginning of a stressed syllable but it isn't the first syllable of the word.
Yes, at the beginning of all stressed syllables including in words like 'attack'.
You said there was less aspiration in traditional RP. In what way?
@@filipeferreira-q8k They expelled less air and the was a shorter delay before the following vowel.

Very interesting, thanks for your comment!
Isn't "ate" ie past tense of "eat" pronounced /et/ in British English?
