Fred Cummins fred@sedano.idsia.ch Ouch... In English (at least in Ireland and I think America) kids who hurt themselves say /aU/. As I recall, in Germany it was /'aU.wa/. My 3-year old tells me the Swiss-Italian kids in playschool say /'ai.ja/. Clearly there is no universal (though it would hardly be surprising if initial stress/accent on bisyllabic forms were universal). Can you provide me with more regional variants? Is there dialectal variation within a language? If responses warrant, I'll summarize.
