Lojban In General

hey, i loved the first episode, and will soon listen to the others. if you are mildly interested, i have a recording of me singing the song that never ends in lojban, and am recording the jabberwocky in it also. btw, lojban is pronounced with a long O, the zh sound from vision, and the a from father, if that clarifies things.

Subject: lojban New LCS podcast/blog; contributors wanted

We're moving from a plain ol' RSS feed for the podcast to a wordpress.org blog:

http://podcast.conlang.org

Podcast subscriptions should be unchanged by this (though may be
affected by the FeedBurner merger w/ Google).

It's brand-new now of course, but soon we hope to have some regular
text entries to go with the podcasts.

Anyway: we're looking for contributors, both for the podcast and the
blog. If you're interested in writing or speaking (or singing!) for
the conlang audience, please let us know. (David Peterson will be
leading the writing effort.)

The criteria are the same: have something to say that's interesting to
a broad set of conlangers, and do it in a way that's high-quality.
We'll handle as much or as little of the technical & hosting parts as
you want; you just have to come up with the content.

Speaking of podcast contributors: Matt Arnold, LLG President, is
joining the LCS podcast with a revamp of the "About Lojban" series,
currently located at:

http://nemorathwald.com/aboutlojban

Matt already announced this on lojban-l, but: if you have suggestions
for what you'd like to see on or contribute to the podcast relating to
lojban (or other logical languages), please email him (he's CCed).

We hope to be able to bring you other specialized podcast series in the future.

If you're still not subscribed: go to http://feeds.feedburner.com/conlangs.

Recent podcasts: an interview with Thomas E. Payne (author of
Describing Morphosyntax, aka "the conlanger's bible"); high-quality
video of Donald Boozer & Lila Sadkin's talks from LCC2; and an
introductory discussion of what conlangs are in the first place.

Thanks,
Sai

Hm, is that normative?

Since Lojban has a six-vowel system, I would have thought that there
would be a bit of latitude or room for allophonic variation in the
vowels — for example, to pronounce /o/ as o or O, /a/ as a or
A, etc.

The CLL explicitly states (in section 3.2) that 'a' can be pronounced as either
a or É‘ and that 'o' can be pronounced as o or É”. However, the first
phoneme in each pair is the preferred pronunciation.

FWIW, you're responding to Phillip Newton; the podcast was by David
Peterson and me.

And yes, I've since been told about the mispronunciation. I promise to
try not to mess it up again. ;-)
