Luthic: Difference between revisions

Furthermore, Luthic is affected by [[w:Syntactic gemination|syntactic gemination]], a common feature in [[w:Italian language|Italian]] and [[w:Neapolitan language|Neapolitan]] as well, also known as '''raddoppiamento sintattico''' in Italian, and '''riddoppiamento sintattico''' in Luthic. Syntactic means that [[w:Gemination|gemination]] spans word boundaries, as opposed to word-internal geminate consonants. Syntatic gemination is optionally appointed orthographically (for the sake of simplicity, not on this article), and it only happens before a ''trigger word'', however, neither does doubling occur when the initial consonant is followed by another consonant or if is there a pause in between, both phonetically and orthographically, for example “giâ mmeino haertene ist sfracellato” (now my heart is broken), but “giâ, meino haertene ist sfracellato” (now, my heart is broken). ''Trigger words'' include:

* ''Vino au vvadne?'' (wine or water?).

* ''Vino au mmeluco?'' (wine or milk?).

* ''Stô bbene'' (I am well).

* ''Le ccanzoni'' (the songs).

* ''Atha mmeino'' (my).

* ''Þû ttaugis'' (you do/make).

* ''Ed þû, ce taugis?'' [[IPA for Luthic#Standard_Ravennese_Luthic|/eð ˈθu | t͡ʃe ˈtɔ.d͡ʒis/]] > [[IPA for Luthic#Standard_Ravennese_Luthic|[e.θ‿ˈθu | t͡ʃe ˈtɔ.d͡ʒis]]] (and you, what are you doing?), also spelt as ''e þþû, ce taugis?''.  

* ''La cittâ stâþ sporca'' [[IPA for Luthic#Standard_Ravennese_Luthic|/lɐ t͡ʃitˈta ˈstaθ ˈspor.kɐ/]] > [[IPA for Luthic#Standard_Ravennese_Luthic|[lɐ t͡ʃitˈta.s‿ˈsta.s‿ˈspor.kɐ]]] (the citty is dirty), but never spelt as ''la cittâ sstâ ssporca'', as explained in the syntactic gemination section above, even though this is a different phonological process.
