Phonetics - Consonants: Crash Course Linguistics #8
Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 06. 2024
- The letters in a word don’t always match the sounds they represent, and people can pronounce words in different ways. Lucky for us, linguists have tools to help understand and communicate speech sounds. In this episode of Crash Course Linguistics, we’ll begin our discussion of phonetics, the study of speech sounds, by talking about consonants, and we’ll also get an introduction to the International Phonetic Alphabet, or IPA.

![English Consonants Masterclass: Learn to pronounce ANY consonant in English [IPA chart explained]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/RJnQaCW2FjE/mqdefault.jpg)
I majored in Linguistics and had a few courses on phonetics and phonology and NONE of them mentioned sign languages. Thank you for including them in your videos!
Though I did take an introductory course to Brazilian sign language and they mentioned it there. :)
This was really important to us! Stay tuned for more in the upcoming phonology video! (though not in the vowels video, I think it's the only video in the series that doesn't mention signed languages)
I love how inclusive this series is (:
Biggest thing lacking from phonetics and phonology courses BY FAR
but is it still PHONetics and PHONology if it's not spoken?
I desperately need a video where someone’s pronouncing every single sound on the IPA chart
Try the Glossika Phonics channel here on youtube, it is fun!
Look up "Krishna the conlanger" - he has such a video

Ah yes, English is hard; it can be understood through thorough thought though.
Through tough thorough thought though!
Our ore or our oar? More?
True that.
I could go for a nice refreshing IPA brewed with Gavagai hops.
I need to hear this said by someone from Boston, and no I don't knkw answer why.
I mean I can, but I won't!
So what’s on your mind?
Her pronunciation of Xhosa was SO satisfying
I'm Xhosa🙂
@@kwanda6941 is it hard for foreigners to learn?
I really, really liked the "too-cluttered" diagram and how it moved with the sounds. I would definitely prefer just the chart as a reference but as a learning tool I could sit and watch that diagram make noise all day.
check out Glossika Phonics on youtube!
This is the kind of education I always wanted, but never had the time or resources for. Loving every minute of it.
when I was 14 and studying for a spelling bee, I learned the IPA for English so that I could learn how words are pronounced and try to guess the spelling. I got second place.
That's what I call powerful-
"squishy wet meat clarinet " could be used to explain all the freaky animal noises as well
Man, talking - and just the idea of being able to do it without even really thinking about it - is remarkable when you really think of it. And this video really helps to illustrate that for me. Excellent work.
"In the next video, we'll look at vowels."
*sweating begins*
Correction: at 8:42, you encircled the labiodental approximant, not the flap.
Also it should probably be /gævəgaɪ/ or possibly /gævægaɪ/. Having the second vowel as /ɪ/ is just wrong.
Given that this is targeted toward English speakers, I'm hoping there's a video in the future that helps people to realise the difference between an aspirated and non-aspirated sound, and how much the difference informs how they're heard in other languages.
too many English speakers don't realize the differences like the way she pronounced perro in the video was using an aspirated p...
Yes! And since your comment made me think of Korean, tensed and untensed consonants would be great!
Fav crash course series yet! Props for making this very clear and concise when lots of talk around language is fuzzy. It's as though you think about language very carefully or something
Thank you so much for explaining all these difficult-to-grasp concept in such a easy-to-understand manner. Great help to a person currently taking on a linguistic course like me :3
Just found this series in the middle of my college linguistics course. This is what I call a coincidence.
I just had lectures on Phonetics and it is honestly so interesting. However, I suck so hard at transcribing lol. :(.. Anyway, sending bilabial clicks to those who read this haha
Thank you so much for this series crash course!
I've been interested in the IPA and the unique sounds in different languages for years, but all the resources explaining it were intimidating as heck. Glad to see it explained from the ground up as is done here! Please make this series a long one.
I appreciate the inclusion of Pizza John
Thank you
I'm really enjoying this series
I think this might be the most enjoyable episode of cc linguistics yet! The last one was close, though.
Thank you very much. You made life easier and I love the " user friendly" language that you use to explain complicated terms and concepts
along with the IPA chart i also learned to use feature matrices and we called Bilabial Labiodental Alveolar and Velar (along with the unmentioned ones, like Palatal and Uvular), just three things: Labial (anything to do with the lips) Coronal (anything to do with the tip of the tongue) and Dorsal (anything to do with the blade of the tongue.) other features include [consonant] [sonorant] [nasal] [voice] and [continuant]. some of these might not be familiar, some are.
something else useful from feature matrices is that we can describe natural classes- which are groups of phonemes with a number of the same features. phonological processes can act upon entire classes instead of just one phoneme.
Great video! I spent a year doing a comparative phonological study of ellipsis in Russian, German, and Bulgarian, and it’s refreshing to see I haven’t forgotten the basics yet, even though I mostly just work with neural networks now.
I really wish this was introduced in early education. It was make certain other subjects so much more doable.
This channel is a real help!!! Thankyou so much ❤️
This brought me back to my linguistics courses, thank you!! 💜
Great stuff! Thank you
Thanks this video was quite helpful
Being a student of MA Linguistics .... I love your videos ... Really really helpful ... Especially I Love PHONETICS ..... and you explained it wonderfully. Eagerly waiting for the next part !!
I am so jealous of and happy for new linguistics students that have these great resources
This is super useful, especially to anyone trying to master control over their voice. Thanks CC!
Loving the course so much so far!
Hoping we can have a whole episode on Sign Language, super interesting!
Also, would love to have merch with Gav on it!
This is amazing 😻 thanks 🙏
This video explained a lot about the IPA I didn't know or didn't fully understand, I greatly appreciate that :)
thank you, this was an extremely interesting video!! and also thank you for bringing a bit of the South African languages in! keep up the excellent work!!!
Your videos are incredible! Could you also make a video about language acquisition, please? It would be great. Thank you 💕
Finally 👏 gracias!! I'm actually taking this class right now, thank you again crash course 💓
Very informative
Thanks
Please make a video about forensic linguistics too ^^
Now, ʎ is only tangentally meant to invoke 'y'. It was intended to invoke lambda in the Greek alphabet and only tangentally invoke 'y', given that 'j' and 'y' are often symbols of palatalisation.
IPA has _tonnes_ of issues, such as the prominence of voicing over other means of articulation, but the system as a whole has surprisingly little bias given when it originated, even if that's only because some conflicting inherent biases of the originators were useful.
(And I say this as somebody who thinks that there should be a distinct dental series rather than it being relegated to a diacritic.)
IPA has issues, indeed. But the prominence of representations of sound symbols in the tables also coindice with frequency effects: almost all languages distinct voiced sounds from voiceless sounds, but only a few languages utilize things like palatization, injectives or clicks, just to name a view.
The only thing i really miss from IPA is a standardised way to represent pitch in tonal languages.
Thanks!
I love the IPA! And I’m loving the sign language inclusion in this crash course series
Thank you very much for this. I learned a lot.
As an ESL teacher I find the IPA fascinating.
This is very interesting!
I just realized why Tamil represents p,b with the same letter, and does so for t,d and k,g as well!
I love these type of episodes🤩🤩🤩🤩
Endless thanks ❤️
My favourite section of Linguistics 😍❤
Thanks for explaining that Jalapeño sound...I am learning Spanish and I struggled with that sound a lot....
Informative
Educational!
Amazing video! Wish my phonetics teacher would've used it in class to explain things
You are awesome!!
THIS IS SO COOL
Meat clarinet music theory. 😂
Thank you so much for explaining this so clearly, I fiiiiinally understand it now. :D
Wow...this is great
Very good from egypt thank you ❤
I hope you'll also delve into sound frequency and the linguistic technology used by linguists!
I'm going through the crash course best hits, and I never realized that it was boiled down to a science
This video reminds me of what I dubbed a MORE, a moment of realization/enlightenment, during a communications course in my freshman year of college. Imagine how different our relationships, society in general, would be if we learned how to communicate at an early age. I believe adding the IPA chart during this critical phase would have a synergy effect. Learning how to better communicate through knowing the proper use our words and learning how speak clearly by understanding the mechanics for proper pronunciation of our words should be as equally important as learning how to spell words.
The animation is so useful (and funny). It's way harder to pay attention when it's just text.
Brilliant, my favourite part of linguists is here!
Great video, it hit all the notes I've seen and heard before elsewhere, (even down to the "also there's /x/ like in the English Loch"), but also included articulators of sign languages.
Also, I know you had to cut out a lot for the sake of time, but you cut out affricates entirely? The "Tsunami" example is as cliché as the Loch example.
But still, great video, looking forward to the one on vowels, as they have always given me trouble.
/jæ lɪŋɡwɪstɪks vɪdioʊz lʌv/ "loch"
As others have noted, furrowed eyebrows in ASL make a content question, not a yes or no question.
That lipstick shade is love.....
Did I know I needed this? No. Was it interesting as hell? Why yes it is
@CrashCourse, is this currently (1st Nov 2020) the latest one? Many thanks for these videos. I am thoroughly enjoying them.
I'm a speech therapist. Love this.
I'm in Gaelic (Scotish)choir so this video was helpful. Thankyou
I love how cartoon John Green appeared when you talked about the "pizza ridge". At least I guess it was an easter egg ...
Now feel my pain as Australian EFL teacher in Taiwan stuck with having to use the KK system. It’s a nightmare.
the anatomic illustrations are very helpful! Good job I hope I don't fail my linguistics exam
What would it take to get IPA subtitles for these videos? I'd love a chance to see it in use while i'm hearing the language.
Phonetics? More like FUNetics!
Are there any languages with consonants that combine points of articulation, like a fricative in the back of the mouth and then a plosive near the front? I'm having trouble making a sound like that, but it seems like it should be possible
This topic can be a complete course of its own. What an adventure it would be!!
lovely 🥰🥰
7:00 is pretty much exactly the _Devenagari_ alphabet ;)
.. a subset of it, anyway
I've been trying to study linguistics on my own for a while now and it's so hard to find good resources that clearly explain things as well as these do :)
0:18
"...coming to get you, Barbra!"
Night of the Living Dead or Shaun of the Dead?
here in UK if you work in Early Years, teaching children phonics, you have to be careful not to pronounce the schwa after p, k, t etc...
Much love for "whole nother" shame your captions disagreed.
All I can think of is meat clarinet! ...also good name for a metal band that utilises woodwind :)
Why not doing crash course geometry and crash course programming
Otherwise great job crash course with all the playlists you ve done keep going
Para los que saben español, el canal de Superholly tiene un nuevo video de esta tema!
The Gamma makes my favourite sound. I don’t know why I have a favourite sound
Wowowoow this is a great course for you to be making.
Do you have a video about laminal sounds??
"Some '-ng' words like 'hang-ger' don't have an '-ng' sound."
Who pronounces "hanger" with a hard G in the middle? It _definitely_ has the n and g smushed together (which I learned today is called an "engma") sound!
yeah, my dialect definitely says /hæŋɚɹʷ/, not /hæŋgɚɹʷ/. but there are words where there's /ŋk/ or /ŋɡ/, like "ink"and "English"
Bring on them diphthongs !
Welcome back gævɪgaɪ (aka Gav)!
নাইস ❤️
Ahhh okay gooods ahhh
The fact that meat like us can speak is nowhere near as mindblowing as the fact that meat has somehow convinced stones to perform a reasonable facsimile of maths, and fast enough that it can can sometimes look like thought.
At 7:05 I'm pretty sure /ɝ/ is produced not /r/.
the meat clarinet hurt me deep down
I am verrry confused at how it's realistically possible to make a 'k' sound on the soft pallet. I DEFinitely place my tongue (albeit further back on my tongue) on the hard pallet - and can take it very far forward at that.
It can depend a little on your accent or dialect. It's not covered in the video, but for some speakers sounds can vary a bit based on where they turn up in words or just generally. Since no language uses the *entire* IPA there's usually quite a lot of space around each sound, so its likely that you and others around you can't notice the variation at all, but in some other languages the difference might be very noticeable and important.
Linquistically speaking, har har.
Great piece.
I'm happy as long as my phone does not run out of charge.
.
I'm off to invent a language that only uses the sounds of the empty white boxes.
