Eeeeee, always here for the big sibs OT4!! Tell me more plz? *chinhands*
This one is still and always @iamwestiec's fault and also an excuse for me to break out my decade-old linguistics degree 😆
Jiang Yanli is a linguistics professor, and she and Lan Xichen like kissing more than your average bear, and the result is this:
"We know from the quadrilabial click joke, that some kissing noises are necessarily articulated by two vocal tracts working in tandem." He hummed agreement. She sat down on the other computer chair, logging into the computer and booting up Praat. "But undoubtedly some kissing sounds are individually articulated," she continued. "Uh-huh." "So three segments to the experiment. First two segments, we'll take turns suppressing our own individual sounds as much as possible, so as to capture individually articulated phones, and in the third segment, we'll see what sounds we generate together." She pulled up the audio settings on Praat and then turned to Lan Xichen. "Sound good?" He was grinning at her. "What?"
Wen Qing and Nie Mingjue, for the record, want no part of this nonsense.
