I seem to have finally found my way back to heaven online, formally known as you all. I've missed you all so much....
Well, strictly speaking, yes. I take liberties with liquifactions.Originally Posted by Misscaroline
Liquifactions are syllabols that flow into each other. A lot of Italian words have them, and they kind of blurr the syllable count.

Why give up - I went with your last line MissC
In latin, we call them elisions, and your namesake is famous for them. Just how did three syllables turn into one, though? Or rather, how might I say it aloud? Thanks, by the way...And I gave up because I'm probably never going to bed at this point.. I've been trying for an hour, but between you and Robin, there's no rest to be found...

Hey professor Virgil, what are liquifactions - give us example...we are American!Well, strictly speaking, yes. I take liberties with liquifactions.
He's kidding right?
I think I will try getting away with that from now on...slurring

No- it's autistic license. And believe me, I do it all the time... My play in iambic tetrameter was run amok with invented words and bent or broken words in order to make everything work the way I wanted it to...

Ok so i took a super liberty.
In piano, the pi-an syllables flow into each other. That's a liquifaction, like a liquid. Let me see if the internet has a better example and definition. I'll be right back.

Actually I've got the term incorrect:
The second definition applies here and refers to consonants that approximate the sound of a vowel.liquid
NOUN: 1a. The state of matter in which a substance exhibits a characteristic readiness to flow, little or no tendency to disperse, and relatively high incompressibility. b. Matter or a specific body of matter in this state. 2. Linguistics A consonant articulated without friction and capable of being prolonged like a vowel, such as English l and r.
I'm not sure what it's called when syllables flow into each other. I've been using liquifaction incorrectly. Perhaps I've made it up.

No- the definition is correct, now that I think about it. When I'm playing with Virgil's Aeneid (which, yes, I actually play!) I scan it for meter- one of the rules is that the liquids are always not considered actual consonants... More commonly, you'll be calling it an elision. that's where two vowels (usually) run together and the second vowel sound is the one audible. An example: qui cono esse... or whom I think to be... the cono and esse would run together and the es would be the prominent sound- the no is essentially abandoned audibly...NOT that big of a deal, love...
IT basically becomes qui conesse. You weren't really that far off...

I'll have to look into what you're saying here. Unfortuantely it's bed tme for bonzo.
