another thread in our local forum spawned the thought of this thread, so here it is...
I can't even begin to think of how to spell the sound of a wookie howl...but if you were going to spell out how something sounded...how would you do it...
easy example...
air escaping the valve stem of your bicycle
FFFFFFFFFffffffffffffffff-ssssssssssshshhshhshshsshhshshhhhhuuuuuu
..............................
^ That's the sound of a failed thread.
I kid! [cheeky]
It's hard to convert sound into text. I guess that's why they came up with metaphors. Of coures comic books have been doing it for years, POW!
a wookie is as hard as spelling a good rumble fart with snaps at the end.
but we can all imagine the sound of a fart spelled pffft.
are we this bored today?
Onomatopoeia
"Spelling of sounds" Errr..you mean like phonology? [cheeky]
You were actually talking about transcribing Chewy?! D*mn zooom..you're making the SW fans look as bad as the trekkies!!
I'm sure some geek phonology professor has done it though. [cheeky]
As an SLP, a portion of my job includes phonetically transcribing speech..articulation errors and all. Some of the sounds the kids vocalize can make things challenging. Transcribing Chewbacca can't be too hard though..insert a string of diphthongs.."VVVVVVVVV-VVV-VVV". It seems like he does form an occasional consonant. Reading the transcription back though would be difficult because the of the inflection. One might not sound like a real wookie.
spelling the sound your bike makes when it rolls of the side-stand goes something like this...
