Well, if you pronounce the like you do in "bratwurst" or "father", then the medial would become /z/. I don't know about up North or across the pond (either one), but American Standard has that as /s/ in the medial and /z/ in the final. In the example that someone above used, "vases". I don't know what you guys are all on about with devoiced /z/. Your tongue doesn't move at all when you make the shift, only your vocal cords start to vibrate with the /z/. Be sure that your tongue is in the right place. If you have trouble making the distinction, make only the sibilant sounds /s/ and /z/. Notice also that final /z/ in 'dogs, robs, kills' is extemely weak and barely audible. Try saying cats(ends in a fortis /t/) and dogs(ends in a lenis /g/) one after the other. Perhaps you can hear the difference between /s/ and /z/ if you say them yourself. With these the ending is /iz/, for example 'buses, kisses, bushes'. However, notice the exception with sibilants. Therefore, they are followed by a voiced lenis sound, as in levels. Moreover, although /nml/ don't have the normal fortis/lenis pairs, they are considered voiced sounds. So, the word 'cloud' ends in a lenis sound, hence a lenis sound follows, that is, /z/. Simply put, the rule is fortis+fortis and lenis+lenis. However, there is a simple rule for the following suffixal consonant, that is, for those 's'-markers such as cloud s. I haven't come across with a clear rule that states when to use fortis or lenis sound after a vowel, perhaps CJ has more information on this matter. It I pronounce all of them as /s/, would you find it strange? Can people really notice the difference? Pronouncing /z/ is quite natural to me when it is between two vowels, but I find it very difficult to pronounce a voiced /z/ at word finals. How important is the difference in the pronunciation of all these ending voiced /z/, devoice /z/ and /s/. I am completely amazed by the following pairs: close adj. I really can't figure out a rule when is an "s" /z/ and when is it /s/ when following a vowel. grandpas, has (strong form), says, pies, fixes, togas, Achilles, hersīut these are indicated as /s/ in the dictionary 3. These are indicated as /z/ in the dictionary: 2. However, if the final "s" follow a vowel, I found from the dictionary that sometimes it is /z/ and sometimes it is /s/. absorbs, clouds, bags, levels, dims, unions, cheers, evolves Just want to check if I understood it correctly.Īre they devoiced /z/? 1. Other recognisable insignias included death’s head badges and silver daggers.Thanks Zerox. The collar of these uniforms had the two runic S’s, which looked like lightening bolts. The SS was recognisable by their black uniforms. This force was under the control of Heinrich Himmler and answered only to Hitler himself. With the fall of the SA following The Night of the Long Knives, the SS became the superior paramilitary force in Nazi Germany. In April 1925, the SS began as a group of bodyguards for Adolf Hitler. Its role during much of the war was the train the German military. Listen Nowīeginning as the paramilitary force behind the rise of the Nazi Party, it soon became of lesser importance. In this episode, Victor talks about what it was like to be in Dresden during the bombings, and the Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) he suffered as a result of his wartime experiences. Victor Gregg is a veteran of World War Two and the Dresden Bombings, and travelled with Dan to visit Dresden last year for a documentary.
