Hello Chefs! Today we talk about the discovery's from the latest Phonetic data from under the Great Pyramids and ask "Are these a tomb for a diva ...or something else entirely.
I discuss how you can tell the intellectual capacity of those who yell, from those who are using leverage in warfare and analyzing information. There is always more going on than what meets the eye and I discuss many current events that describe that. I also discuss the abolishment of the DOE, other education news, including phonetic ticks that drive me nuts and diminish the English language; and the medical civil war that is ongoing but the disclosures that will take place in the future as well.

Vor drei Jahren kreierten drei Teenager aus Chicago einen (verdienten) Lo-Fi-Rock Hype: Horsegirl wurden direkt in die Tradition von Sonic Youth oder Yo La Tengo gejubelt. Dank Produzentin Cate Le Bon gelingt den mittlerweile Studentinnen auch der zweite Schritt - feiner, verspielter, spannender. Trotz Umzug an die New York University nahmen Penelope Lowenstein, Nora Cheng und Gigi Reece ihr zweites Album «Phonetics On and On» in ihrer Heimatstadt Chicago auf, dort wo sie als Teil einer ganzen Szene für Minderjährige Konzerte organisiert und gespielt haben und innert kürzester Zeit landesweit bekannt wurden. Wieder gastierten Horsegirl im Studio der Lokalhelden Wilco namens «The Loft», wo sie im klirrend-kalten Winter nur dank mehreren Schichten Wollpullis und Aufwärmgymnastik für die Finger einen warmen Sound aufs Band gekriegt haben. Minus die ultra-schrammeligen Gitarrenwände ihres Debüts liefern Horsegirl einen 90er-Indie-Flashback erster Güte. Für Fans von: Pavment, The Breeders, Yo La Tengo oder Sonic Youth. +++ PLAYLIST +++ 22:57 - DISAPPOINTING THE DESIRE TO LAST von NOEMI BÜCHI 22:52 - CANOPY OF EDEN von CIRCUIT DES YEUX 22:47 - BETTER WAY TO LIVE von KNEECAP FEAT.

Iranian Languages and Dialects, Part XIII: Ossetian | ИРОН ӔВЗАГ This episode is a special tribute to my late professor and mentor, Professor Dr. Roland Bielmeier (1943-2013) Summary In this comprehensive episode, we journey through the rich tapestry of Ossetic cultural history, literature, and language. Starting with the linguistic isolation of Ossetic from its Central Asian relatives, we explore how this language developed unique traits influenced by neighboring Turkic and Caucasian languages. Phonetic changes, such as the introduction of glottal stops, and grammatical adaptations like orientational preverbs and compound verbs, reflect these interactions. Despite external influences, Ossetic retains many core features of Old Aryan, particularly in its verb structure and lack of ergativity. We delve into the pre-literary evidence of Ossetic, examining medieval Alanic inscriptions, word lists, and grammatical sketches, and trace the development of Ossetic writing through early Christian texts and the pioneering efforts of scholars like Ivane Ialghuzidze ივანე იალღუზიძე (1775–1830) and Andrey Sjögren. From early translations of religious texts to the eventual standardization of the Ossetic alphabet, the language has seen significant evolution. Khetägkatị K'osta, the "father" of Ossetic literature, is a central figure in this episode, known for his iconic poetry collection *Iron Fändịr* ("The Ossetic Lyre"). We explore the rise of Ossetic literature after the Russian Revolution and its prominent use of the Iron dialect. Ossetic folklore, particularly the Nart epic cycle—shared with other North Caucasian cultures and rooted in ancient Iranian myths—is highlighted as a significant cultural heritage. The Ossetic lexicon reveals deep Iranian origins, especially in core vocabulary and kinship terms. However, many loanwords from Turkic and Caucasian languages have become embedded in the language, particularly for describing social and natural phenomena. Notably, Azeri Turkish served as a cultural bridge, while Russian has influenced modern technical and political terms. This episode provides a thorough understanding of the linguistic evolution, cultural exchanges, and literary development of Ossetic, offering insights into how historical forces shaped this unique language and its modern dialects.

EMERGENCE OF THE CORTICAL ENCODING OF PHONETIC FEATURES IN THE FIRST YEAR OF LIFEGiovanni M. Di Liberto, Adam Attaheri, Giorgia Cantisani, Richard B. Reilly, Áine Ní Choisdealbha, Sinead Rocha, Perrine Brusini & Usha Goswami Nature Communications volume 14, Article number: 7789 (2023) Abstract Even prior to producing their first words, infants are developing a sophisticated speech processing system, with robust word recognition present by 4–6 months of age. These emergent linguistic skills, observed with behavioural investigations, are likely to rely on increasingly sophisticated neural underpinnings. The infant brain is known to robustly track the speech envelope, however previous cortical tracking studies were unable to demonstrate the presence of phonetic feature encoding. Here we utilise temporal response functions computed from electrophysiological responses to nursery rhymes to investigate the cortical encoding of phonetic features in a longitudinal cohort of infants when aged 4, 7 and 11 months, as well as adults. The analyses reveal an increasingly detailed and acoustically invariant phonetic encoding emerging over the first year of life, providing neurophysiological evidence that the pre-verbal human cortex learns phonetic categories. By contrast, we found no credible evidence for age-related increases in cortical tracking of the acoustic spectrogram.
In today's episode, we're commemorating over 125 years of the creation of the Yukon Territory. We speak with Paul Caesar-Jules, a Kaska youth from Watson Lake. He tells us about his work at Liard First Nation's Language Department, where he digitizes tapes of elders communicating in Dene languages. We also hear from Yukon historian Michael Gates, who takes us back to the 1978 discovery of Hollywood silent films, buried under the permafrost in Dawson City -- and what this discovery tells us about the Gold Rush. Finally, we speak with Regional Chief Kluane Adamek. She speaks about the essential role that Indigenous youth play in shaping the future of the Yukon, and about the importance of matrilineal leadership in her community.To read the episode transcripts in French and English, and to learn more about historic Canadian milestones, please visit thewalrus.ca/canadianheritage.This podcast receives funding from The Government of Canada and is produced by The Walrus Lab.Check out the French counterpart podcast, Voyage dans l'histoire canadienne.

Howdy folks. Not had a lotta time this week to sort the upload so apologies for the short show bio.It was a bit of a different show this week, Powlo was fresh from the Phonetics party the previous night so came to the studio to play a little bit o' what he played that night.Normally, he'd have sacked off the solo show but due to our stupid plans, we wanted the big bank holiday show to be one where we spin 45s... so there had to be a show #346.As he's said... "Sounded decent in the studio but I did have it cranked up. it's not brilliant and it's not terrible."Remember, you can join us live (almost) every Sunday 9pm-11pm on SheffieldLive! 93.2fm, via the TuneIn Radio App or www.sheffieldlive.orgGet in touch with requests, recommendations and guest mix inquiries!https://www.instagram.com/radionighttrain/https://bsky.app/profile/thenighttrain.co.ukWe're also available for family functions, weddings, funerals, boat launches and more.TRACKLISTINGQuakers ft.

In today's show, we have Diane, Elizabeth, and Sally Lemos Lpc sharing a conversation about Christmas and all the expectations and pressures that can come up. So often, we strive to do everything, but do we know why we are doing everything? Is it to perform for others or even to prove something to ourselves? It's so easy to make Christmas about what we want instead of focusing on something far more important: how we make others around us feel. We hope this conversation feels like you are sitting with Sally, Diane, and Elizabeth as they dive into some great stories of missing the mark and how it led them to ask these three helpful yet challenging questions: 1. How do we not miss this Christmas? 2. Who or how do I want to be? 3. What kind of culture am I trying to create?Merry Christmas and Enjoy!

Like what you hear?? Consider donating to TTM: Creating Confident Learners to help support us grow!In this episode we look at what it means to be a visual or phonetic learner, and why it's so important to know the difference. By teaching visual learners visual-based tools we can avoid bigger problems. In this episode we talk about two visual based learners who once given the right toolset, started to identify as readers where before they struggled. We look at the fact that visual-based strategies actually help ALL learners, but don't leave visual-based learners behind in the way that teaching only phonetics does and the fact that we don't have to teach reading just through phonics or even at all. I also touch on visual-based strategies such as building a high frequency word bank, using clay to master both trigger words and letters, the use of word study, and the importance of reading out loud to help students become fluent and proficient readers. In this episode we talk about: The difference between phonetic and visual learners and what it's so important to know which one your child is We talk about visual-based tools such as building a high frequency word bank, clay word and symbol mastery, word study, spell and sweep reading strategies Talk more about two visual students who once give visual tools started to excel and identify as readers themselves once given the right tools How visual learners often times don't hear the vowel sounds How to access the free reading assessment I've created that allows for YOU to identify how your child processes reading and how to identify their own personal trigger wordsResources:Sign up for my free (!) newsletter at pages.tanitutors.com/newsletter to get a FREE reading assessment video to figure out what type of learner your child isFollow @creatingconfidentlearners on both Instagram and FacebookFor one-on-one clients for homeschooling or tutoring support or more information go to: www.tanitutors.com or email tani.toprakci@tanitutors.comSupport the show

Julie Matthias is in the middle of a regular shift at her hairdressing salon when she begins to feel really strange. Julie is taken to hospital with the symptoms of a stroke, but doctors can find no evidence she has had one. Initially, Julie is unable to speak properly at all. But when her voice returns, friends start to notice something strange. Julie's standard Southern British accent, typical for the Medway area of Kent where she lives, has disappeared. In its place is a new voice, a new accent, which leads strangers to think she's from another country entirely. In this episode of Sideways, Matthew Syed wants to understand how our accents evolve, and what happens when they change. Charting Julie's journey to understand the condition she has developed, and why her accent has disappeared, Matthew uncovers the intricacies of our accents and how they form a part of our identity. Delving into our obsession with accents, and the stereotypes we associate with them, Matthew discovers how our accents change throughout our lives, and how this can impact the way we are treated. As it turns out, the accent is not just in the voice of the speaker, but crucially, in the ear of the listener too. With Jane Setter, Professor of Phonetics at the University of Reading; Nick Miller, Emeritus Professor of Motor Speech Disorders at Newcastle University; and Alex Baratta, Senior Lecturer in Language, Linguistics and Communication at the University of Manchester. Presenter: Matthew Syed Producer: Pippa Smith Series Editor: Katherine Godfrey Sound Design and Mix: Naomi Clarke Theme music by Ioana Selaru A Novel production for BBC Radio 4
