minus-squaresouthsamurai@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoAre you my aunt? That’s exactly how she says geese. Her husband says geese as “gays” with a sibilant s rather than the hard s.
minus-squareornery_chemist@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years ago… how do you mean? S’s are sibilants in every variation I know if not silent like in French.
minus-squaresouthsamurai@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoI’m three decades away from my last class, but I thought that the ess sound than an s makes is called a sibilant, where the z sound it makes isn’t. Most people using the word “gays” will have it sound like gayz, or the word gaze. His is that sibilant s like in hissing
minus-squareornery_chemist@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoYou make a good point about the voicing distinction that I was unsure of, so I looked it up. According to clearly the most authoritative source on the internet, [s] and [z] are both “hissing” sibilants.
