IPA Symbol Tournament @ipa-tournament - Tumblr Blog

i always doubt are we voting about which symbol is sexier, or which sound, or a combination of both?

I really need to get to that 'FAQ' post we decided to draft because a lot of people ask this

I consider both because to me that's what the symbol is. It's both. But since it's not like we're trying to get scientific data here it really doesn't matter. Whichever way the voter decides is fine.

We also have some logistical issues with trying to do a tournament that's only based on phone or character. Both of us here have been putting thought into how we could solve them though if we wanted to do future tournaments but we don't have any good ideas yet

Two questions pls

When is the next round coming? And which sound is your icon? I thought it was a vowel but there's no vibration

The first match of the quarter-finals will be this Sunday May 24th at 7am EST!

The icon is a voiceless alveolar lateral fricative. Why? You may ask. Is that not sowing favouritism when this blog should be as neutral as possible?

Well one, @/quoting-my-linguistics-lecturers chose it. And if you don't know her, she loves voiceless alveolar lateral fricatives. Two, we chose to go with a midsagittal section because it wouldn't be immediately identifiable as any sound. So that was us being neutral. I'd have gone with a ʃ otherwise

omg wait i think i fucked up... are we deciding which ipa symbol looks the best, or which speech sound sounds the best?

This does come up a fair bit we've noticed.

But it's really up to the voter if they want to go on sound or looks or consider a bit of both. The polls are technically phrased closer to 'look', but we put the link to the interactive IPA and the name of the sound as well

We might do different tournaments that do specify in the far future but for now it doesn't matter.

#asks #We also have a few issues with how we'd execute either just sound or just looks but I'll leave that for today #If you wanna know more about that or anything else then you can reach us at our ask button #(I say... on an ask. Friend isn't here to remove my ranting I'm sorry)

Is there just one mod here?

I think the best way to phrase it is there's 1.5 mods

There's me doing pretty much everything blog wise and spreadsheet planning wise, and then there's someone who talks me out of being too ambitious with the polls or analysing data I don't need to analyse etc

I also vote on the polls with my personal account while the other does not, and in words they just told me now 'It's generous calling me even half of a mod'. We discuss things together though so I can't discount them
