In class assignment

Noticing Canadian English

I am a Canadian, but I don’t really sound like one (whatever that means). During the first and last lecture for this course, listen to how I talk, as well as what I say. Jot down some notes about pronunciation, vocabulary, whatever, that you hear from me that either particularly does sound Canadian or particularly does not. Try to note at least 5 things in each class. We’ll see if I make any progress during the semester.

Use IPA symbols to illustrate pronunciation! Additionally, use any linguistic symbolism you have learned that helps formalize the patterns you are showing.
