Episode 37: mouth

Published: March 19, 2013, 1:10 p.m.

Phil and Eric tackle the mouth lexical set, and compare it, briefly to the price set. We reference Robbie Burns\u2019 To a Mouse, and talk about how it evolved through the Great Vowel Shift from an /u/ vowel, to its present location, in the range of /\xe6\u028a/\u2014/a\u028a/\u2014/\u0251\u028a/. Eric touches on Canadian Raising, and the two glossonomians explore the range of articulations, modulating the initial component of the \u201cvector\u201d, and then the final component.
