@Paul Tello Not sure why that's relevant to anything here, but: No idea about Britain but I found this 2006 paper (Leonora Risse, 2006) from Australia that suggests it made people less stressed about having children at a younger age, when otherwise the time they'd need away from work, unpaid, which would be an unacceptable financial risk. That then means that it relieves - long term - pressure from the ageing population to support itself. From the abstract: **"The analysis finds that the availability of maternity leave can significantly elevate pregnancy rates but this effect depends on a woman’s age and whether maternity leave is paid or unpaid. The findings imply that the implementation of national paid maternity leave legislation in Australia would work to encourage women to bring forward the timing of childbirths and help ease the economic pressures of the ageing population."** So I guess, yes, sort of? Rather, it shifts the birthrate from an older parents to younger parents, as younger to-be parents feel more secure about having a child when PML is available. www.researchgate.net/publication/46557526_Does_Maternity_Leave_Encourage_Higher_birth_Rates_An_Analysis_of_the_Australian_Labour_Market

The vowel you showed for vowel fronting has the same place of articulation and is not fronted, but actually unrounded

4:37 just wanted to point out that those two vowels are pronounced at the same part of the mouth, but [u] is rounded and [ɯ] is unrounded. When two vowels are next to each other on a point on the chart, the left is unrounded and the right is rounded. A more accurate depiction of fronting would be to slide the circle to the point with [ɨ] and [ʉ], which are further forward in the mouth.

Britain has a new accent every twenty miles, I'm Not Surprised that they developed their own antarctican accents

That was a smooth sponsor segue HAI.

Linguist here. 4:37 While the analysis sounds correct, the movement of the red circle could be considered misleading. Both [u] and [ɯ ] are realisations of a high back vowel - the place of articulation is indicated by the dot between those two symbols. The only difference is that [u] is rounded -the lips move into a more rounded shape- whereas [ɯ ] is unrounded - it's the standard "U" sound in Japanese, for example. Since the Antarctic accent doesn't seem to involve a change in roundness of the high back vowel, what's shown in the video isn't exactly what's happening. The moving slightly forward of the place of articulation might be better represented with just the trapezoidal shape, without all the symbols - maybe just the [u] symbol, since that's the phoneme that's undergoing a shift. There are other graphical ways to convey that change, though.

Just FYI, never heard anyone in NZ say "pin" and "pen" the same way. Fush and Chups would be a better example

So I'm an American who lived for two years in New Zealand, and then two years in the UK (with some assorted countries in between). I came back to the United States with a _very_ obvious accent that took me about six months to lose. Anyway, the way I always described the Kiwi accent was in terms of vowel shifting where it would "downshift" to the next vowel in the A-E-I-O-U series, so "pan" becomes _pen_ and "pen" becomes _pin_ and so on. It's not 100% accurate but I've found it's the best way of getting the idea across to non-Kiwis.

I’ve never heard anyone say “pin” and “pen” the same way. I have also never heard anyone say “fush” or “chups.” Never understand why people think we say that.

"As you can imagine, being stuck indoors with so few people for 8 months..." As a matter of fact, I can imagine that

“Oh my god, his accent is so adorable, is he from Psr J1719-1483 B?”

Sam: "They would pronounce it as 'Paid Maternity Leave'" Me, who knows that the U.S. infamously doesn't have it: "I know where this is going"

4:42 The symbol that you are using to illustrate the concept of vowel fronting actually represents a high back UNROUNDED vowel. A very different concept.

So glad I found this channel!

The accent, “it’s fu-fu-fu fu**ing cold”

A true American joke that makes every American laugh

I'd like to point out that [u] wouldn't have changed to [ɯ] since that is caused by a process called unrounding. The sound that it'd most likely have changed into (like how you said it) is closer to [ʉ], which is what would be caused by vowel fronting.

I was caught of guard and laughed way to hard at the paid maternity leave joke. It is really messed up how it’s not required for new/expecting mothers.

Fact: The "Barth" pronunciation of bath is only found in the most southern counties of England. Elsewhere in England from the south of the Midlands and north, and including Scotland, it's pronounced exactly the same as you pronounced it, ie: properly.

4:44 it's actually ʉ not ɯ - ɯ is exactly the same as u except the lips arent rounded. in the new "food" vowel, it's central-close-rounded, which is ʉ. souce: have australian accent, can recognise ʉ

It's funny because it's typically true.

4:38 In the vowel chart /ɯ/ is just /u/ but unrounded, they're both back vowels. Their pronunciation of "food" changed from /fuːd/ to /fʉːd/.

I want more examples of what the Antarctic accent sounds like! 🙂

"now listen closely, cuz the difference is subtle" *goes on to talk about it instead of the recording* I feel trolled.

[u] "open back rounded vowel" to [ɯ] "closed back unrounded vowel" is definitely not vowel fronting. they're both pronounced at the same position of the mouth - the back it's the rounding (or in this case, unrounding) of the lips that made the difference that's the only main point of the whole video and yet it's wrong it's even in the footnote below the IPA chart at 4:38

I can agree with the animator, The expanse is a great show.

1:35 YEEEESH, that was colder than the overwinters in Antarctica.

So much enthusiasm in his voice in this video 😂

4:37 It literally says "Vowels at right & left of bullets are rounded & unrounded" at the bottom. You did not indicate the sound moving further forward, you indicated the sound becoming unrounded. The text is a little counterintuitive, though, I think it should say "Vowels at left & right of bullets are unrounded & rounded", in order to make sure the side of the word in the text matches up with the side of the vowel in the chart

4:42 the vowel you circled here wasn't a further forward version of u, it's an unrounded version of u. That's why most sports on that chart have two symbols, for rounded and unrounded. ʉ would have been the one that's further foward
