It's enough to run a short query on the web to find out that phoneticians... don't do it at all :-(
Divers do it, lawyers do it, even ...:
- Linguists do it cunningly
- Linguists do it fluently
- Linguists do it in trees
- Linguists do it epenthetically
- Linguists do it with their tongues
... and phoneticians don't (neither do phonologists for that matter). This is a shame! Trying to show that phoneticians also do it, here's a bunch... I'll continue to add to it, with your help (I hope). Let's show everybody that we, phoneticians, also do it!
So, if linguists are so clever to do it with their tongues...
Phoneticians do it with the tip of the tongue.
... and ...
Phoneticians do it with frictionless continuants
Phoneticians do it with stops
Phoneticians do it bilabially
Phoneticians do it with a glottalic airstream
Phoneticians do it with no reduction under stress
Phoneticians do it without interference
Phoneticians do it with a laryngoscope
Phoneticians do it acoustically
Phoneticians do it with rhythm
Phoneticians do it with the head, body, nucleus and tail
Phoneticians do it heterophonically
Phoneticians do it in push- and drag-chains
Phoneticians do it with geminates
Phoneticians do it with sexisyllables
Phoneticians do it with the penult
Phoneticians do it in beats and binds (or was it natural phonologists?)
Phoneticians do it isochronically
Phoneticians do it distinctively (or was it phonemicists?)
Phoneticians do it in yods
Phoneticians do it with Jones
Phoneticians do it with melody
Phoneticians do it through rise and fall
Phoneticians do it with tongue control
Phoneticians do it ...?
