Expertise

I'm a keen Linguist myself & am deeply interested in many branches of Linguistic.

I can answer questions relating to:

  • Phonetics (study of sound articulation within any language)
  • Phonology (study of sound system of any language)
  • Etymology (study of word origin)
  • Orthography (study of the accepted way of spelling and writing words)
  • Syntax
  • Vowels
  • Consonants
  • Diphthong
  • Syllable
  • Grammer
  • Spellings
  • Phrases
  • Proverbs
  • Similes
  • Figure of Speeches
  • Pronunciation
  • Accents (around the world)

In addition, I'm fairly comfortable (if not, I could do my research before being able to answer your question to your full satisfaction) with the differences in British regional accent along with many International Accent like North American, Down Under, Indian & Far Eastern.

Alongside, I'm comfortable with the rules of identifying the sound/phonetic in words in English language & the stress pattern involved along with syllabic aspect of it.

I use International Phonetic Alphabets (IPA) along with Sampa transcript.

Experience in the area

EXPERIENCE

I'm deeply interested in these topics, which I've enlightened myself for the past few years by self-teaching myself doing my research using many different resources.

What do you like about this subject?

LIKES

I love the fact that such an interest helps me improve my communication to the extent that people hardly witness among someone who happens to fall within the same age-group. Flowery communication always entices me.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

STILL TO LEARN

I wish to be able to immediatedly identify the "sound articulation" of ANY speaker speaking ANY language in the world AND be flexible enough to be able to articulate it myself.

Phonetics is about the physical production and perception of the sounds. For example, the sound articulation (position of tongue, lips, etc.) in making the sound of, for example, "home".    On the other
