The podcast has returned! After a 12-month hiatus, Paul is back, with episode 91 of In a Manner of Speaking. In this edition, he discusses yod, the linguistic term for the “y” sound one hears in words such as “you” and “yes.”
Paul talks about all aspects of yod (represented in IPA as [j]), including yod dropping and the differences in yod pronunciation between American and British English. (Americans typically pronounce “nude” and “tune” without yod, for example, while Britons use yod.)
