    Hi,

    I have got a question on phonetics, about the difference between laryngealized/creaky/stiff voice consonants (especially the latter) an ejective stops. Can the ejective stops be regarded as a subset of laryngealized/creaky/stiff voice consonants? If not, why not?

    Regards,

    Johannes Reese

    Dear Sir or Madam,

    I am a sophomore student at Hacettepe University, Turkey. My department is English Language Teaching. I am preparing a project on Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis, I have received all the information but the year or period when it first appeared. I am urgently in need of that information. If you can help me I will be very pleased.

    Yours sincerely, Sevil Altikulacoglu selcukbasakmailexcite.com
