Suggestion

Accentuation tables for adjectives would make me weak in the knees. — [ ric | opiaterein ] — 13:50, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism

Frankly this page is almost impossible for anyone to use except trained linguists. Almost nothing is broken down sufficiently nor are examples provided for people not deeply versed in linguistic terminology to understand what the page talks about .It would be greatly appreciated if someone spent some time to make this page useable for the lay people. Looking at this page atm makes me want to hit my head on a wall. RadomirZinovyev 19:51, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is certainly true that there are places where it could be made clearer and simpler. One thing that is confusing is that it isn't always clear whether "accent" refers to the pronunciation of a sound or to the written accent. For example, in the first sentence it says "stressed heavy syllables are pronounced in one of two prosodically distinct ways that are determined by accent and pitch". What does "accent" mean there? The last seven words seem to me to be rather confusing, which is particularly undesirable in an introduction. I have attempted to edit the first paragraph to make it a bit clearer. How is it now?

The section "Syllable weight" is also very badly written. How can a sound like /ie/ or /uo/ can be described as a "monophthong"? And what are "mixed acute diphthongs"? These haven't been defined. The second paragraph would be much clearer if first something could be said about the different kinds of diacritic marks, together with examples of words illustrating each one.

Lots of the article references concepts in the start sections, which are only explained / exampled further down. A lot of jumping around to see the basics of what it's trying to explain. RadomirZinovyev 16:13, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
