I've now permanently moved my blog over to http://chocolateandvodka.com/ and will no long be updating this version, other than with the occasional summary of new posts. Please do not leave comments here, but instead find the equivalent post on my new site, and comment there instead. Comments left here will not be published, as I'd like to keep things all together on the new installation. Sorry if this is an inconvenience.
Re: Building blocks: More on pronunciation
by Anonymous
I'm obvously 18 months too late to comment on this thread, but for the benefit of any future archaeologists who might stumble upon a fossilised hard drive in 100,000 AD can I just point out that one of the most irksome aspects of brits speaking foreign languages is their wilful refusal to hear stress patterns. A good example is the Marcel Carné movie Les Enfants du Paradis which even educated brits insist on pronouncing Les ENfants du PARadis, though anyone without cloth ears will have heard the froggies say 'Les EnFANTS du ParaDIS'.
