This document defines and provides examples of epenthesis, which is the insertion of an extra sound into a word. Epenthesis can occur historically as languages evolve over time, such as the addition of 't' in French interrogatives. It can also occur synchronically as a rule in the language's phonology. Epenthesis arises for reasons like making consonant clusters or vowels in hiatus easier to pronounce. It is divided into excrescence, the addition of a consonant, and anaptyxis, the addition of a vowel. Epenthesis is a feature of both spoken language and can occur as a poetic device.
Phonetics and phonology are both linguistic fields that are interested in the role of sound in language. The importance of learning phonetics and phonology for someone whose first language is not English is paramount.
Learning phonetics will help a foreign speaker sound more like a native speaker by making them aware of the different sounds that English makes use of.
A presentation prepared in this regards is being shared herewith for the records and general sharing. :)
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2. ADDITIONAL SOUNDS (EPENTHESIS)
In phonology, epenthesis is the insertion of an extra
sound into a word. Adjective: epenthetic. Verb:
epenthesize. The word epenthesis comes from epi "in
addition to" and en "in" and thesis "putting".
As a historical sound change
Latin tremulare > French trembler ("to tremble")
Old English thunor > English thunder
(Reconstructed) Proto-Greek *anrotos > Ancient
Greek ambrotos ("immortal")
3. As a synchronic rule
In French, /t/ is inserted in inverted interrogative phrases
between a verb ending in a vowel and a pronoun beginning with a
vowel, such as il a ('he has') > a-t-il ('has he?'). Here there is no
epenthesis from a historical perspective, since the a-t is derived from
Latin habet (he has), and the t is therefore the original third person
verb inflection. However it is correct to call this epenthesis when
viewed synchronically, since the modern basic form of the verb is a,
and the psycholinguistic process is therefore the addition of t to the
base form.
4. A similar example is the English indefinite article a, which
becomes an before a vowel. In Old English, this was ane
in all positions, so a diachronic analysis would see the
original n disappearing except where a following vowel
required its retention: an > a. However a synchronic
analysis, in keeping with the perception of most native
speakers, would (equally correctly) see it as epenthesis: a
> an.
5. As a poetic device
Latin reliquias > poetic relliquias
In informal speech
English "hamster" often pronounced with an
added "p" sound as [hæmpstəɹ]
English "warmth" often pronounced with an
added "p" sound as [wɔɹrmpθ]
English "fence" often pronounced [fɛnts]
English fam(i)ly> dialectal fambly
6. Uses
Epenthesis arises for a variety of reasons. The phonotactics (the study
of the rules governing the possible phoneme sequences in a
language) of a given language may discourage vowels in hiatus or
consonant clusters, and a consonant or vowel may be added to make
pronunciation easier.
Epenthesis may be divided into two types: excrescence, for the
addition of a consonant, and anaptyxis for the addition of a vowel
Epenthesis may be a feature only of the spoken language.
7. anaptyxis
Use for the addition of a vowel.
Example in English : that way >> thataway
in Sardinian : rosa >> arrosa
excrescence
Use for the addition of a consonant
Example in English : Sherbet >> sherbert
Drawing >> drawring
8. Anaptyxis devided into 2 kinds based on the place of adding the
vowel :
prothesis
added to beginning
example in Sardinian: rosa >> arrosa
paragoge
added to end
example in English : generic >> generical
9. Elision
In linguistics, elision or deletion is the omission of one or
more sounds (such as a vowel, a consonant, or a whole
syllable) in a word or phrase. Sometimes sounds are
elided to make a word easier to pronounce. The word
elision is frequently used in linguistic description of living
languages, and deletion is often used in historical
linguistics for a historical sound change.
