From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aeusoes1 is taking a wikibreak to attend college and will be back on Wikipedia once school is over on July 20. though some editing may be done from time to time. Talk page messages might not receive a timely response.

I'm AE, a 2005 graduate of Fresno State's English program. I'm 24 years old. My interests include Science Fiction, Linguistics, and Astronomy. I'm probably more likely to make minor edits on existing articles than make major contributions.

[edit] Contributions

I've taken a bit of attention to List of common phrases in various languages, Non-native pronunciations of English, and Anglophone pronunciation of foreign languages. I hate those titles but can't think of better ones.

I also transcribed the Russian Swadesh list (deleted) into a narrow IPA transcription, created the articles for ikanye and yekanye (merged to Vowel reduction in Russian) and not too long ago reorganized and verified information at Russian phonology.

As much as I know about Russian phonology, I don't speak a lick of it.

I've also added some quality tables and information to syntactic similarities of creoles and post-creole speech continuum.

Despite my seeming awareness of creole grammar, I don't speak any creoles... yet.

I occasionally get flak for de-linking IPA characters, so I figure I'll put a little bit here for those of you trying to figure out my motivation:

According to Wikipedia Convention (the discussion of which is in this talk page), IPA transcription should not be linked because the characters, especially those with descenders or diacritics may be obscured by an underline. While most instances of linked IPA characters have been in charts where the link is entirely redundant (if [m] is in the bilabial column and the nasal row, I'm pretty sure the typical reader will understand that it's a bilabial nasal), there are some instances where this is not the case. There are several strategies to appropriately providing links to the individual phone pages in such situations:

1. Follow or precede the character with a description, this description itself can be linked: "Speakers use a voiced retroflex fricative (IPA: [ʐ]) word-finally."

2. Provide a general IPA warning: (Template {{IPA notice}} works either at the top of a page or the beginning of the first section that uses IPA.

3. User User:AdiJapan has pointed out that class="nounderlines" will remove the underlines for a link (I'm guessing that one would use this in a table), which then makes the whole debate moot. If you really think it's necessary to have a link to the individual characters, then I suppose that's the way to go. But the default way that I've been operating is with the assumption that such links are undesirable.

I hope this has clarified things for everyone.

[edit] People

(this is really for my own use)

People to watch

• Magicalsaumy: This user has put / spaces / in IPA transcriptions. I've fixed some of this and I want to make sure I catch them if it is done again.
• Sburke: Makes various poor IPA pronunciation guides (although in good faith). Just want to make sure such edits don't last too long.
• Strabismus: Prefers their own (nonstandard) IPA transcription. I may have to make some unnecessary reverts.

People to know

• AdiJapan: Somehow I've been able to interact with this fellow in a civil manner. In some ways he's one of my first/few wikifriends
• Ëzhiki: Native speaker of Russian. Also an administrator if that ever becomes important.
• Angr: An administrator and a linguist.
• Kwami: Has a copy of SOWL. Administrator.
• Mzajac: Administrator.
