	Language Change - Title
		Another fact about language change, clearly established on the basis of approximately 100 studies, is that women are usually a generation ahead of men in sound change.
		Sounds change in a number of ways, and sound change is one of the most well understood aspects of language change, thanks to the long history of work in comparative/historical linguistics, and also to the research on sound change in progress by another member of the Penn linguistics faculty, Dr. Bill Labov.
		Sound changes work to change the actual phonetic form of the word in the different languages, but we can still recognize them as originating from a common source because of the regularities within each language.

	diyAudio Forums - Does the speed of sound change? Opinions...
		I think that the slight slowing of the speed of sound in a fiber filled TL is due to the loss of the perfectly adiabatic expansion and compression of the air as the sound wave passes.
		When a sound wave, that is at least four times longer then the length of the pipe, encounters a fiber that is that small I think that the wave just passes around the fiber as if it were not there.
		First, the speed of sound is slightly reduced due to the shift from an adiabatic expansion and compression of the sound wave to a slightly non-adiabatic (not all the way isothermal) expansion and compression of the sound wave as it progresses down the line.

	Sound change - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Each sound change is limited in space and time.
		If the change of a sequence of fricatives such that one becomes a stop is dissimilation, then such changes as Proto-Germanic χs to /ks/ (spelled x) in English would count as a regular sound* law: PGmc.
		Elision (also called aphaeresis) is the loss of unstressed sounds, apocope is the loss of final sounds, and syncope is the loss of medial sounds.

	rsca: a reversible sound change applier
		Changes with multiple blanks are useful where you might otherwise wish to write a change which has a regular expression in before and after; it's often the case that these parts don't change, and this allows you to move them to the environment instead.
		Whenever a sporadic sound change would apply to a word, rsca applies the change, and then carries both the changed word and the unchanged word throughout the entire remainder of the set of sound changes, presenting both their outcomes to you at the end (unless a later change makes the words fall together again).
		Many sound change appliers are implemented with regular expressions, which, somewhere far behind the scenes, get converted to finite state automata; but what we really want are finite state automata with the capability to output, and these are exactly finite state transducers.

	Sound - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sound is a disturbance of mechanical energy that propagates through matter as a pressure wave.
		Sound is characterized by the properties of sound waves, which are frequency, wavelength, period, amplitude, and speed.
		The amplitude of a sound wave is specified in terms of its pressure.

	Sound Tips
		The digital sound system makers should work these problems harder, perhaps by modifying their recordings and adaptively changing the recording that is used depending on conditions.
		If your sound system maker hasn't tested his system with the decoder that you intend to use, you may fry one or both of the systems unless you know exactly what you are doing.
		Even though Dallee claims that their sound system can be connected to a decoder this way, random noise or other transients often interfere and causes their whistle to blow when it should not.

	Planning for Success: The Importance of a Sound Change Management Plan -- CMS Watch
		So the real art of change management is pre-determining the effects of a new technology on the people who must work with it, anticipating their objections, then being prepared to overcome those objections when they arise.
		Change is easiest if it starts from the ground up and is supported from the top down, because users feel involved.
		It’s a truism that change is constant, and in business continuous change and evolution is usually necessary to be competitive.

		Once one knows why a change originated, one has an explanation - although the explanatory process may have (will have) to be renewed, as due consideration is to be given to social factors and the like.
		That is to say, he tries to explain sound change while taking into account the function of the elements involved, and their place in the phonological system.

	Radio Sound Effects
		If the piece's PoV is omniscient, you can use it as a change of scene: for example, by altering the texture of the ambient sound background; or you might have the current foreground change to become background, and begin a new foreground.
		Usually in a recording studio the object is to reproduce the sound as accurately or as cleanly as possible.
		You are changing the sound to establish and maintain the picture you want to create in the mind of the listener.

	Internet Sound Institute - Programmable EQ
		An equalizer (EQ) is a set of filters which allow the operator to adjust or change the frequency response of the sound system.
		Assuming the basic sound system is capable of reproducing good musical quality, the programmable equalizer can be adjusted to maximize the sound quality.
		The equalizer is probably the most abused and misadjusted piece of sound equipment because it is often adjusted by inexperienced operators.

	The Seattle Times: Local News: Climate change means big changes in Puget Sound
		Rising global temperatures are taking their toll on Puget Sound, as less mountain snow funnels less freshwater into estuaries, rising oceans transform salt marshes, and changes to the food web alter life for everything from lingcod to orcas, a new study says.
		The change will be compounded because geological factors are causing land in the Olympia and Tacoma areas to sink about an inch every 12 years.
		But as the volume and timing of those river flows change, the tiny creatures that eat the plankton may still emerge when they always have, which means they may miss their primary food source.

	Sound Changes
		The hardest changes to identify are changes that involve one sound replacing another sound.
		Since only one feature has changed and there is another voiced retroflex liquid in the word, we probably have dissimilation, a move away from a nearby sound.
		Since only one feature has changed and the sounds around the “k” (vowels) are both voiced, we probably have assimilation, a move closer to surrounding sounds.

	Sound Changes
		We learned in class about the most common sound changes that typically occur in languages over time (assimilation, dissimilation, intrusion, metathesis, consonant weakening, and ellipsis).

		NOTE: Some childhood sound changes are not the typical ones that we’ve been studying in class.
