I still think that kaptengröt meant something like "register" - we know the difference between a "deep" voice and a "high-pitched" voice.

In Norwegian, the pitch accent of isolated words can change when these words are put together into a sentence (as in Mandarin). This is called ''a Trondheim rule/model'',
and is similar to Fujisaki model in Japanese: http://speechprosody2010.illinois.edu/papers/100828.pdf Edited by Medulin on 16 January 2013 at 5:17pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Same thing in Swedish, and especially if the word is the first (or last) part of a multisyllable word.

kaptengröt, thanks for your insight. It has taken me a while to come back and respond, but I've been thinking about my vowels ever since you mentioned them. I am african-american, but I don't know how my vowels differ from other people's. Can you tell me exactly what the differences are?
