Th-stopping is the realization of the dental fricatives [θ, ð] as stops—either dental or alveolar—which occurs in several dialects of English. In some accents, such as of Indian English and middle- or upper-class Irish English, they are realized as the dental stops [t̪, d̪] and as such do not merge with the alveolar stops /t, d/; thus, for example, tin ([tʰɪn] in Ireland and [ʈɪn] in India) is not a homophone of thin [t̪ʰɪn]. In other accents, such as varieties of Caribbean English, Nigerian English, Liberian English, and older, rural, or working-class Irish English, such pairs are indeed merged. Variation between both dental and alveolar forms exists in much of the working-class English speech of North America and sometimes southern England. Th-stopping occurred in all continental Germanic languages, resulting in cognates such as German die for "the" and Bruder for "brother". (en) 齿间音塞音化（英語：Th-stopping）是几种英语方言中齿擦音[θ, ð]被发音为齿塞音或齿龈塞音的现象。在印度英语和中上层爱尔兰英语等口语中，这两个齿擦音分别变为齿塞音[t̪, d̪]，因此不会与齿龈塞音/t, d/混同，例如，在这两种口语中，单词“tin”（爱尔兰英语读音为([tʰɪn]，印度英语读音为[ʈɪn]）与“thin”（发生齿间音塞音化后的读音为[t̪ʰɪn]）不同音。在另一些口语，如、、利比里亚英语，以及老派乡村或工人阶级的爱尔兰英语中，[θ, ð]发生塞音化后与/t, d/混同。在和英格兰南部的大部分工人阶级英语口语中，这两个齿间擦音演变为介于齿塞音和齿龈塞音之间的各种变体。在所有大陆日耳曼语中都出现了齿间音塞音化现象，例如德语中，英语“the”的同源词演变为“die”，英语“brother”的同源词演变为“Bruder”。 (zh) |
