(These conventions agree mostly with emerging internet conventions for representing IPA in email and newsgroups.) For item j, you will have to come up with a feature that is not mentioned in the book; think of what the articulation of these phones shares, and describe it in a short sentence.

But the a at the end could have nothing to do with 'he/she' because it is at the end of all of the words in the list (so probably has something to do with what all of the words share, that is, SIMP PRES).

All aspects of language are tied in some way or other to words. In this chapter, we'll start off imagining a world with no language at all and see what is gained by adding just this one basic feature of human language. Words have two aspects, their forms and their meanings, and in this chapter we'll only look at meaning. Actually we'll only be considering words in one category, those words that refer to things in t
