Participants needed! One of my Phonetics students is looking for participants in her study - just requires listening to some voices in a short survey york.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

You can also it with 'know', as in 알겠(습니)다, which just means "I got it" or "I understand".

Not even the National Institute of Korean Language wants to give a firm answer, but 겠 can also create a circumlocutionary mood, and they say that's probably what it's doing there www.korean.go.kr/front/online...

What we tried to do in this paper was investigate exactly what Korean speakers believe about "short tongue": what is it, who uses it, and what does it mean? This was a very fun paper to write. I also see some parallels between "short tongue" and English phenomena like vocal fry and uptalk. Enjoy!

What has fascinated me about "short tongue" (for about 20 years now) is (1) that it's not perceived exclusively as cute: depending on the context and the speaker, it's also perceived as kind of pitiful, and not cute at all, and (2) that "short tongue" covers a wide range of consonant articulations.

My paper with Eunjong Kong on Korean "short tongue" pronunciation is finally out 🎉 Recently there has been more discussion of "short tongue" in the context of aegyo, a Korean cute speech register, and "short tongue" is one of its linguistic hallmarks. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Small update: I surveyed my class of 24 students, mostly from KS/MO and a few from NE, MN, and SD, and no one had heard of "whip a shitty", but 100% of them called a u-turn a "yoo-ey". But instead of "whip a yoo-ey" they said "pull a yoo-ey".

멋지다!

I have only ever lived in the Midwest, and at both ends of it (OH, IN, and now KS), and I have never heard this term before 😅 I will ask some of the locals here...

Interesting! Given that this 'law' has a geographic meaning, I would assume it's related to the 'law' in Danelaw, but that seems to be the 'legal law' as well!

Yes! 🙌

That looks like a lovely outing!

So proud to be from NE Ohio 😊

Ah I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope the transition is as smooth as possible, and that there are more silver linings as events unfold.

80% of my personality is not having seen movies everyone else has 🤝

Earliest 6:00, latest 6:10 (unless I texted a heads up that I'm running late), optimal would be like 6:04. I live in a city with essentially zero traffic, however, and so that's never really a factor. Also this is assuming I'm the only guest. If it's a larger gathering these times are relaxed a bit.

Yes, and I have A Lot Of Thoughts about Korean palatalized fricatives.

I think it's mostly just stuff like formality or speech rate. In casual speech most people just say 부셨어요 [pu.ɕʌ-], which is non-standard. The two forms you listed are both considered standard by NIKL www.korean.go.kr/front/mcfaq/...
