So, does this mean Joan speaks with a nasally voice in this thing?kingrat wrote: ↑December 6th, 2023, 7:44 pm MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT is one of those films that is "coded Jewish." No one is identified as Jewish, but the father is an immigrant from Eastern Europe who works in the garment industry in New York. Replacing Edward G. Robinson, who played the lead on Broadway, with Fredric March is a step away from the authentic Jewish background. However, Joan Copeland as March's daughter brings the accent and flavor that the story needs.
Don't jump to conclusions....I was referring to regional accents which are quickly homogenizing.
Yes, and with the further north up the Atlantic coast one goes, the locals generally becoming even more non-rhotic speakers.TikiSoo wrote: ↑December 7th, 2023, 7:41 amDon't jump to conclusions....I was referring to regional accents which are quickly homogenizing.
NYC had it's own distinct "borough" accents, quickly disappearing save for some gangsta affectations.
New York State is the beginning of the "midwest rustbelt" nasal-ish accent: starting here, morphing & culminating to the upper peninsula "Fargo" accent, dontcha know?
(not related to New England regional accent, all it's own)
Yup the R starts here. And it's a HARD R. While everyone else pronounces tire "tye-er" we say "ti-ARR" like a pirate.further north up the Atlantic coast one goes, the locals generally becoming even more non-rhotic speakers.
I can't stand British accents that DON'T pronounce the R! It seems fairly common. HEAH. THEHA. WTH? Pronounce your Rs!!!!TikiSoo wrote: ↑December 7th, 2023, 11:45 amYup the R starts here.

"Flat tire" is one of the phrases I use to illustrate the rustbelt accent. We say "flat" funny too. Extra syllables. "Fla-ay-at"
I once made videos just speaking to illustrate my accent. It's really funny, you used to be able to pick out what City someone lived in by their regional accents. These days not so much.
How'd it go, Bronxie?Bronxgirl48 wrote: ↑December 6th, 2023, 11:58 am So nobody is going to watch THE GODDESS "live" with me tonight? I am crushed.
British accents have become largely non-rhotic over the centuries. The southwest accents (Cornwall, Devon, etc) are still largely rhotic. But most of the population is now non-rhotic. You hear it a lot here because London accents are non-rhotic, and that's what you'll hear most often in the media.Hibi wrote: ↑December 7th, 2023, 11:58 amI can't stand British accents that can't pronounce the R!

UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why have the R consonant at all if you won't pronounce it?

The southern US used to have non-rhotic accents as well, but those have largely faded away.
I find it humorous that non-rhotic speakers (those who drop their R's after vowels), often insert R's where there are none. Think of JFK's exaggerated "Cuber." "Castro pahks the cah in Cuber." This is also happening in the UK, where non-rhotic speakers will insert a slight R sound after a schwa vowel. As an example, you'll hear "idear" for idea, or "drawring" for drawing, etc...

It's not that they don't pronounce r's. That letter denotes a different sound for rhotic speakers of English than it does for non-rhotic speakers.Hibi wrote: ↑December 7th, 2023, 11:58 amI can't stand British accents that DON'T pronounce the R!
