If you could make pdf for every lesson that would be great

Thank you so much

a phonological variation in my language (Brazilian Portuguese) is the use of /tʃ/ before unstressed /o/. In the general brazilian dialect, the word "muito" (very) is pronounced as /'muj.tu/, but where I live (Alagoas, Northeastern Region) and, if I'm not mistaken, in Paraíba (a neighbor of our neighbor) "muito" would be pronounced as /'muj.tʃu/ by many speakers. The same goes for "oito" (eight) → /'oj.tʃu/

Oh, coolǃ I was aware of /ti/ becoming [tʃi], but not of /to/ being pronounced [tʃu]ǃ I will keep Alagoas Portuguese in mind ː)

@@AzeLinguistics yeah, but not all people here speak like that. I myself pronounce /tu/ as a "real t", but I know some people here whose accent includes that /tsh/ before unstressed /u/. There's this local musician here (I guess this is raggae) and this song he made is called "muitxo calor" (which is how one would hear "muito" being pronounced here): kzread.info/dash/bejne/dWyElJuxlJvUZMY.html That was the only video I could find of someone saying /muj.tshu/ lol

wish there was subtitles for a linguistics video...

would the generation gap in language also come under variationist linguistics?

Adult vs. young speech could be a factor to account for linguistic variation.
