I met some cheesemakers in Devon, England, while research for an article about farmhouse cheddar. They told me about Neal Zhyard, which turned out to be Neal's Yard Dairy. They pronounced the liaison between the words as the s in "pleasure". So from unvoiced "s" in Neal's, you get (in regular usage) s=>z (voiced), but they went a step further by making a voiced consonant in the beginning on the next word, pronouncing "Yard" as "Jard (in)" in French "jardin".
Does anybody know the name of that phonological switch, and if there are other occurences? Thank you! Edited by administrator on 08 March 2009 at 11:05pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
