释义 | 〔thataway〕The history of the English language is full of examples of epenthesis,the addition to a word of a vowel or consonant not part of the original word.This process is still active in regional dialects.Two examples now used chiefly in Southern and Midland dialects arethisaway and thataway, which show epenthetic vowels intruding betweenthis way and that way. Another highly excoriated instance of vowel epenthesis,not regional, is the pronunciation ofathlete as (ăthʹə-lēt'). 英语的历史充满了增音的例子,即增加一个不是原词部分的元音或辅音词。这种现象在方言中依然很活跃。现在主要用于南部和中部方言的两个例子是thisaway 和 thataway , 它们显示了在this way 和 that way 之间插入的元音发音。 另一个备受非议的增加元音的例子,不是方言,而是athlete(运动员) 如(ath'□-let')的发音 |
