Do fricative consonants have "length", like vowels do?
Q. Since most fricatives can be continuously articulated, is it conceivable that a language might contrast between different "fricative lengths", like some do with vowels? Do you know of any languages that do this?
Asked by Jesus on the Dashboard - Wed Jun 10 23:38:47 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. No, there's no distinction of length with fricatives as with vowels in any known language.

Asked by equinoz - Sun Oct 29 19:39:00 2006 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. change '&& found" in your loop condition to "&& !found". The way you have it, it doesn't go into the loop at all. Or better yet, get rid of the "found" stuff alltogether, and replace the insides of your "if" statement with just {return i;} There is no need to scan the whole string to the end, and than again from the start, since you already know the index you need to return the moment you found that first vowel. A little more elegant approach would be to use a regular expression. For example: return Pattern.compile("[aiueo]" ). matcher(s).start();

Need some help with Latin syllable length.?
Q. I've been trying to learn Latin lately and I have a question about syllable length. I learned that one rule for a syllable is that it is long by position if it comes before two consonants. So, for example, in the word "c n-ser-v -tis," (I've split up the syllables) the "o" and "a" are, of course, long. The book I'm using says that the "-ser-" is a long syllable because the "e" comes before two consonants, "r" and "v." Does that mean that it's a long vowel "e" sound or does it just mean that it's a long syllable? In other words, is it pronounced the same or is the "e" also long? Thanks. I'm not talking about stress, I'm talking about length. If a vowel is before two consonants, then it is a long syllable. But does that mean that it is a… [cont.]

A. It's spelled out pretty precisely. Strings in C are stored as char* - a pointer to arrays of characters. This looks like so: char * myString = "Yahoo!

This looks like this: char ** myStrings = new char* [ numberOfStrings ]; However, you also need to dynamically allocate space for each entry in myStrings. So you'd need to do the following (figure out the simpler way yourself, it uses a loop of some kind): myStrings[0] = new char[ maximumStringLength ]; myStrings[1] = new char[ maximumStringLength ]; myStrings[2] = new char[ maximumStringLength ]; ...

A. Okay, first off you have GOT to seperate your code into functions. This function is too long and too complex to be left as is. At the very least, I suggest each of the cases call a function rather than try to do everything inline. Keeping functions small is a great habit to get into. Second, case 2: You can determine the length of a string by calling the strlen() function. No need to do a loop. This is the standard way to get the length of a string. If you really do want to do a for loop for educational purposes, try the following: // If you want a for loop, try it this way: for (len = 0; str[len] != 0; len++); //not ; at end of for statement. No loop body needed Good luck.

User guesses more letters. More *'s are replaced. User guesses phrase. Computer says correct or not. To guess a letter, the user can type l and then the letter. To guess the phrase, the user can type p and then the guess.

A. The difference is NOT length. The difference is NOT in the lips. The difference is in the root of the tongue. The sound in 'ship' is a so-called lax vowel. The sound in 'sheep' is a so-called tense vowel. The position of the highest part of the tongue is in the front of the mouth and very close to the palate. To make the lax vowel, move the root of your tongue towards the back of the throat slightly. This will pull the tongue back ever so slightly and make the different sound of 'ship'. It is NOT a question of length or lips. Ignore these two issues. It is completely a question of how close to the palate is the highest part of the tongue, and the difference is very slight. It is the movement of the root of the tongue that makes… [cont.]
