Proposed merger of Speech acquisition into Language acquisition

Hello, Bkroeger. I would also like to join others in welcoming you to Wikipedia.

I have placed a template on the page Speech acquisition proposing that its content be merged to Language acquisition. All interested editors (of course, this includes you) may comment at Talk:Speech acquisition#Proposed merge and indicate their arguments for or against the proposed merger. If there is general consensus for the merger, the content of Speech acquisition will be copied to Language acquisition, and the former page will become a redirect, meaning that anyone visiting Speech acquisition will automatically be forwarded to Language acquisition. If there is no such consensus, or if consensus is not to merge the pages, the merger will not be carried out.

Happy editing, Cnilep (talk) 03:45, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure that we should do that. Better: Insert "Spoken language and its acquisition" as link to language acquisition.

See as well "speech repetition" .... That could be merged to others

Transcription of “Bernd J. Kröger”

Excuse me for continuing in German, but I have come to the conclusion that you feel more at ease discussing this in German.

Zunächst einmal vielen herzlichen Dank für den hübschen und schmeichelhaften barnstar, den du mir für die Ergänzung der IPA-Transkription im Artikel Bernd J. Kröger verliehen hast. Allein: mir ist nicht ganz wohl bei dieser Umschrift, denn ich frage mich 1. ob es denn wie damit behauptet im Deutschen überhaupt üblich ist, den Mittelnamen/zweiten Vornamen deutscher Personen als Abkürzung auszusprechen; und wenn ja 2. ob es dann ausreicht, die Aussprache [jɔt] anzugeben, da doch Österreicher einschließlich Südtiroler den Buchstaben J als [jeː] sprechen (z. B. wird im Wiener Nahverkehr eine Linie [jeː] über die Lautsprecher angesagt; das ist ähnlich wie Briten Z als [zɛd] sprechen, während für die USA [ziː] gilt). Was denkst du, welche Ausspracheangabe enzyklopädisch angemessen ist: [bɛɐnt jɔt ˈkʁøːɡɐ], [bɛɐnt (jɔt) ˈkʁøːɡɐ], [bɛɐnt ˈkʁøːɡɐ], [bɛɐnt jɔt/jeː ˈkʁøːɡɐ] oder [bɛɐnt (jɔt/jeː) ˈkʁøːɡɐ]? — Für eine übereilte, unausgereifte Antwort sehe ich keine Veranlassung. Gruß, LiliCharlie (talk) 20:26, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

P.S.: Wie du offenbar gemerkt hast, gehöre ich zu der alten Garde, die sich noch an die Regel hält, /r/ nach Kurzvokalen außer /ə/ nicht vollständig zu [ɐ/ɐ̯]) zu zentralisieren, sondern immer noch eindeutig velar auszusprechen (mit Friktion [ʁ] oder meistens ohne [ʁ̞/ʌ/ʌ̯])). Für Westfalen ist das natürlich schwer verständlich; viele neutralisieren vor /r/ in der Silbencoda die Opposition zwischen Lang- und Kurzvokalen denn auch vollständig.

Phonetotopy

Hello, Bkroeger. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.

Hello Deb, I have the impression that it is not a conflict of interest, because phonetotopy is found in many studies. I am just the person , who created this name and as you can see I have introduced it in literature (in a book) as well. Possible solution: I will add more literature, which points on the concept phonetotopy. and: I will make it more clear in the main text. Is that ok? Bkroeger (talk) 13:26, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Good, because I searched and could not find any literature that was not written by yourself. Deb (talk) 15:44, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Phonetotopy may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:
