Seriously, what's that aboot, eh? —

How do you pronounce “hockey” us players say it with “fake canadian” accent., they don't want to sound canadian, but like a hockey player—a "linguistic persona.".

Jennifer Ouellette - May 16, 2024 5:32 pm UTC

University of Rochester linguist Andrew Bray started out studying the evolution of the trademark sports jargon used in hockey for his master's thesis. For instance, a hockey arena is a "barn," while the puck is a "biscuit." When he would tell people about the project, however, they kept asking if he was trying to determine why American hockey players sound like "fake Canadians." Intrigued, Bray decided to shift his research focus to find out if hockey players did indeed have distinctively Canadian speech patterns and, if so, why this might be the case.

He discovered that US hockey players borrow certain aspects of the Canadian English accent, particularly when it comes to hockey jargon. But they don't follow the typical rules of pronunciation. In short, "American hockey players are not trying to shift their speech to sound more Canadian," Bray said during a press briefing. "They're trying to sound more like a hockey player. That's why it's most evident in hockey-specific terms."

It's a concept known as a "linguistic persona," a means of communicating how one identifies—in this case, as a hockey player— through speech. Bray gave a talk about his research today at a meeting of the Acoustical Society of America in Ottawa, Canada, held in conjunction with the Canadian Acoustical Association.

Bray first had to figure out how to design a study to examine this question. "What does it even mean to sound like a 'fake' Canadian?" he said. The stereotypical Canadian speech patterns are well-known: pronouncing "out" as "oot," for example, or "about" as "aboot," not to mention adding a questioning "eh?" at the end of sentences. According to Bray, there are three common linguistic variables typical of Canadian English.

One is called the lower back merger shift, which involves lowering the tongue to pronounce the vowels in words like "bit" (ih), "bet" (eh), and "bat" (ah). The second is called Canadian raising, in which the body of the tongue is raised to pronounce the vowels in words like "tight" and "doubt." Finally, there are the vowels in words like "bait" and "boat." Canadians pronounce these vowels with only one configuration of the tongue, known as a monophthongal pronunciation. (If the tongue moves to a secondary configuration, that would be a diphthongal pronunciation.)

Bray thought the American players might be exhibiting some Canadian English variables in their speech but to different degrees, such that their pronunciations sounded just a wee bit off—i.e., "fake." He opted to focus on the monophthongal component since he thought those pronunciations were likely to be the most prevalent in "fake Canadian" speech among US hockey players.

Next, Bray had to build his own "corpus of hockey player speech" focused on American-born hockey players. That required extensive interviews with players. Professional National League Hockey (NHL) players might not have the time to participate, so he focused on the American Hockey League (AHL) and East Coast Hockey League (ECHL), narrowing his pool to four teams: the Charlotte Checkers, the Greenville Swamp Rabbits, the Rochester Americans, and the South Carolina Stingrays.

Bray played hockey for the University of Georgia Ice Dawgs, which helped him quickly establish a rapport with his subjects over their shared interest and get them talking at length about their hockey career trajectories. Among other benefits, it helped him avoid the dreaded "observer's paradox," in which asking someone to talk about their speech makes them self-conscious and subtly changes how they would normally talk. He collected data from 20 such interviews, conducted between 2017 and 2019, each lasting about 30 minutes.

He then turned those interviews into a database of "formants"—resonant frequencies that amplify some groups of harmonics above others in speech. Bray's ASA presentation focused on two common vowel formants. The first formant (F1) roughly corresponds to tongue height, while the second (F2) corresponds to how far forward or retracted the tongue is during pronunciation.

In the case of "bait"-like vowel sounds, Bray found some evidence among his US hockey players of a monophthongal pronunciation (minimal tongue movement), as one would expect in Canadian English and perhaps parts of the upper Midwest, but which would not otherwise be present in American English dialects. "Boat"-like vowel sounds seemed more "pseudo-monophthongal" in nature. But when these were compared with benchmark expectations for Canadian English F1 and F2 formants, US hockey players came close but fell just a bit short of the mark. Nor are their pronunciations in line with standard American English dialects.

"This might be why they sound 'fake,'" said Bray. "I'm arguing that this is the construction of a linguistic variant uniquely linked to hockey. It's influenced by Canadian English, but it's not entirely Canadian." And the way the US players in his dataset pronounced "hockey" seems to be "an entirely novel pronunciation of a word linked to this community." Bray suspects this influence will be relevant to his initial research on hockey slang, expecting to find that "hockey slang terms are pronounced differently than you'd expect for the other non-hockey related terms."

Bray suspects this happens via some sort of "lexical diffusion." At the junior league level (around 14 to 20 years of age), US players might not have these distinctive speech patterns, but their pronunciations may gradually shift over time the longer they play and pick up hockey slang terms. The more strongly they self-identify as hockey players, the more they will sound like "fake Canadians."

The ultimate Michigan pronunciation guide: 50 names you might be saying wrong

Given Michigan's deep history and various cities, villages and streets big and small, there are names and pronunciations that, to this day, still trip many people up.

You know this if you remember trying to say "Sault Ste. Marie" for the first time. Or the time you got laughed at when you pronounced Charlotte like the North Carolina city or Milan the way it looks.

Thankfully, the State of Michigan  has a full database  of pronunciations for cities, townships, street names and even famous people. It's complete with quick audio files so you can listen for yourself how things are pronounced.

For our purposes, we pulled out 50 notable Michigan roads and destinations you might not be saying correctly. Use the database for more pronunciations where you might want clarification.

1. Mackinac

Most everyone knows the C is silent and you pronounce this like the way the name Mackinaw City looks: "Mack-in-awe."  ( Listen )

2. Sault Ste. Marie

The first word of this notable Upper Peninsula town trips many people up. It's "Sue Saint Marie."  ( Listen )

3. Ontonagon

This Upper Peninsula county, which features the Porcupine Mountains, is pronounced "On-ton-ogg-on."  ( Listen )

4. Charlotte

No, it's not pronounced like in the children's book or the North Carolina city. It's "char-LOT."  ( Listen )

5. Dowagiac

This small southwestern Michigan city, near the Indiana border, is pronounced "doe-wah-jak."  ( Listen )

It's easy to miss this Lansing suburb: "Oh-kuh-muss."  ( Listen )

7. Ypsilanti

If you're saying "yip" at the front, you're doing it wrong. It's "ip-sill-ann-tee."  ( Listen )

8. Kitch-iti-kipi Springs

Talk about a tongue-twister! That first word is "kitch-iti-kip-ee." Don't forget about that extra "i" sound.  ( Listen )

9. Dequindre

Now let's turn to street names! This metro Detroit road is "duh-QUIN-durr."  ( Listen )

Here's another metro Detroit street name that a lot of people get wrong. It's "lah-sir."  ( Listen )

Most get this southeastern Michigan city name wrong by emphasizing "LAN." It's actually pronounced "my-Lynn."  ( Listen )

12. Lake Orion

It's not like the constellation. It's "Lake oh-ree-en."  ( Listen )

13. Hamtramck

There's a hidden I sound in the name of this Polish city. It's "ham-tram-ick."  ( Listen )

14. Houghton

Both the Upper Peninsula city and Michigan's largest inland lake are pronounced "ho-ten."  ( Listen )

15. Gratiot

This is another tricky one. The street name - and fort - is pronounced "grash-it."  ( Listen )

16. Gaylord

You don't pronounce it "lord" at the end of this northern Michigan city name. It's "gay-lerd."  ( Listen )

17. Lake Gogebic

The largest inland lake of the Upper Peninsula is pronounced "goh-ghib-ick."  ( Listen )  

18. Schoenherr

This major metro Detroit road is pronounced "Shane-err."  ( Listen )

This small township in Marquette County has a Y sound in front: "Yoo-ing."  ( Listen )

20. Keweenaw

Put the long E sound in the first syllable, not the second. It's "kee-win-awe."  ( Listen )

21. Bois Blanc Island

This one trips many people up, in Michigan and out: Bois Blanc is known as "Bob-low." Yes, really. That said, you might hear many people pronounce it as "boys blank."  ( Listen )

22. Ocqueoc

This northern Michigan township, which hosts the largest waterfall in the Lower Peninsula, is pronounced "ah-key-ock."  ( Listen )

23. Grosse Ile

The first word of this metro Detroit township is what you expect: "Gross." But the second word is "eel."  ( Listen )

24. Onekama

This small town near Lake Michigan is "oh-neck-em-uh."  ( Listen )

No city received more suggestions than this one. It's "suh-LEAN," not "SAY-lean."  ( Listen )

It's not pronounced "cleo." It's "CLY-oh." Rhymes with Ohio. Sadly.  ( Listen )

27. Presque Isle

This northern Michigan county is pronounced "Presk eel."  ( Listen )

28. Tecumseh

Here's another one that naturally trips people up upon first saying. This southern Michigan town is "Teh-COME-see."  ( Listen )

This one's "MY-oh," not "me-oh." Rhymes with Clio. And Ohio. Sadly.  ( Listen )

30. Pompeii

This super-small community, found between Ithaca and St. Johns along US-127, is "pomp-ee-EYE."  ( Listen )

31. Sebewaing

If you're using three syllables, you're doing it wrong! It's "SEEB-wing."  ( Listen )

32. Onondaga

We got a lot of suggestions for this one, too, but it's not too difficult: "ON-en-DAY-guh."  ( Listen )

33. Topinabee

Those who live or like to camp near Mullett Lake are very familiar with this one. It's "Top-in-AH-bee."  ( Listen )

Whether it's the Upper Peninsula city or bay, it's "Lons."  ( Listen )

35. Quanicassee

This little community along the Saginaw Bay, near the Thumb, is "KWAN-ick-uh-see."  ( Listen )

36. Seul Choix Point

This is expert mode right here. Let's see if we can spell this out right: "Sish-WA Point."  ( Listen )

Another tricky county name! "Bear-uh-guh."  ( Listen )

38. Charlevoix

Look, most people get this right (along with the next few we share), but just in case those French names have you twisted, it's "SHAR-leh-voy."  ( Listen )

39. Ishpeming

This one'e easier than it looks, but we received some requests for it anyway: It's "ISH-peh-ming."  ( Listen )

Don't overthink this one, either. It's "ME-sick." That easy.  ( Listen )

41. Pokagon

This southwestern Michigan township, located close to another difficult name, Dowagiac, is "Poe-KAY-gun."  ( Listen )

42. Hiawatha

This Upper Peninsula township and national forest is pronounced "Hi-uh-WAH-thuh."  ( Listen )

43. Michigamme

Yes, this community exists — up in Marquette county. It's "Mish-i-GAH-me."  ( Listen )

44. Calumet

Pronounce the "t" for this Upper Peninsula town. It's "cal-you-met." ( Listen )

45. Les Cheneaux Islands

The archipelago about 30 miles from the Mackinac Bridge starts "lay-shin-oh." Les Cheneaux is French for "the channels." ( Listen )

46. Livernois

Like in Illinois, don't pronounce the "s." It's "liver-noy." ( Listen )

10 Tips for a Persuasive Presentation

Powerful presentation is persuasion. here's how to elevate your impact..

Posted May 11, 2024 | Reviewed by Ray Parker

• Presentations aim to effect change. It's essential to be clear about what change you want to see.
• Powerful presenters embrace and extend empathy to seek first to understand their audience.
• Substance and style both matter to create an audience-informed communication experience.
• Persuasive presentations are relevant, reasoned, real, and resonant.

How many of us realize that giving a presentation or making a speech is all about persuasion , influence, and emotional intelligence ? Impactful presenters understand the power of empathy to understand and engage their audience, the efficiency and kindness of having a clear objective and message, and the importance of substance and style—all as a way to connect in a way that engages and inspires.

Much has been written on the power and behavioral science of persuasion, not least by expert Robert Cialdini. His bestselling book Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion explains seven research-based universal principles of influence .

From my experience as a leadership coach working with thousands of people worldwide, I have compiled a list of ten essentials to elevate our presentation.

1. Maintain an "other" focus. What do you know about your audience and how can you find out more? Ask yourself what kind of a speaker will appeal to your audience, what arguments are likely to resonate with them, and what feelings you want to inspire so the audience will positively respond to your ask.

If your audience is predominantly data-driven, you may want to use more evidence-based arguments. If the audience is mixed, a combination of data, authority, and storytelling may be more appropriate. Extend Daniel Goleman’s three types of empathy to gather intelligence , understand your audience, and tailor your intervention to connect more profoundly.

2. Determine a specific objective. Presentations aim to effect change in some way. What change do you want to see in your audience?

For instance, gaining their approval for a certain investment, soliciting their buy-in for a change, or creating a sense of enthusiasm for an idea or initiative. The purpose of a presentation is to bring about change so make sure you are clear on what kind of change you want to bring about.

3. Design a grabber. Our attention spans have shrunk as we have more and more competing demands on our attention . If you want to get someone’s attention, you need to grab it at the outset and try and hold on.

You can do this in several different ways. Throw out a question that demands a response from the audience. Give a surprising fact or statistic, or quote from a well-known figure. Tell a story or an anecdote. A good grabber captures the attention of everyone there and makes them focus on what you have to say.

4. Crystalize your message and construct your arguments. Your message is the heart of your speech. Craft a brief phrase that clearly defines your proposal in 10-12 words—for example, “This post is about crafting presentations that inspire and engage others to elevate their presentations.”

Make it memorable by choosing inspiring words, symbols, catchy expressions, something that will remain in the audience's mind. As Brené Brown says: “Clear is kind,” and a clear message provides a path to develop your ideas.

When you have a clear and concise message, it helps you formulate your arguments. Think of developing your arguments using the rule of three —three compelling arguments to convince but not overwhelm your audience.

5. Prepare a call to action. Remember, we want to change our audience in some way, so we need to make our ask clearly and concretely. Consider your call to action in terms of what you want your audience to think/feel/do:

• Think: “I want you to think about how you can improve your presentations.”
• Feel: “I want you to feel enthusiastic and motivated so that you can elevate your power to persuade.”
• Do: “I want you to try out some of these tips and tools for yourself.”

6. Craft a memorable closing. Close the speech in an elegant and memorable way. We need people to remember what we've told them, so prepare it well.

This is not the time to improvise. Try to connect your closing to your opening grabber, which makes the presentation more memorable. Good preparation means preparing everything to the very end—finish well.

7. Plan your delivery. A dynamic speaker draws listeners in by using vocal variety (tone, intonation, speed, volume, pace, pauses, silence) and body language (posture, gestures, expression, and movement) to highlight important points and hold the audience’s attention. Be intentional: How will you use your voice and your body to emphasize a thought or idea? Think about it: If you increased the time you spent on style or delivery by 20 percent, what would it mean for the impact you make?

8. Think about how you will engage your audience. You want the audience to feel considered throughout. Include pauses so they can process what’s being said; connect with individuals throughout the room and make deliberate eye contact while speaking, especially when delivering key points. Read and respond to the audience by changing how you deliver as you go based on the audience’s nonverbal communication .

9. Rehearse and practice. Practice is one of the most crucial elements of presenting—and probably the most neglected one. If this is new to you, start by reading your presentation in front of a mirror to get comfortable speaking your presentation.

Next, video yourself and watch out for nervous or distracting habits to eliminate them and identify any areas where you can improve your delivery. If you are feeling brave, practice in front of an audience and ask for feedback.

10. Prepare your success rituals and mantra. Public speaking and/or stage fright can feel debilitating for some. Have your calm-down ritual prepared and ready to go before you start your presentation. This might be a certain gesture, a power pose, breathwork, or a mantra.

Try this tip: Identify three adjectives to describe how you would like to show up during this presentation. This sets an intention and helps focus our cognitive and emotional resources on success.

Powerful presenters embrace and extend empathy to seek first to understand their audience. They use this intelligence to carefully make choices about substance and style to create an audience-informed communication experience that feels relevant, reasoned, real, and resonant and creates a pathway for change.

University 'deeply sorry' for mispronouncing students' names at graduation: 'Unfortunate'

by RAY LEWIS | The National Desk

PHILADELPHIA (TND) — Thomas Jefferson University apologized Friday for mispronouncing nursing graduates' names during its commencement ceremony.

The speaker at the Jefferson College of Nursing incorrectly pronounced several names, including “Thomas,” “Sarah,” “Molly” and “Elizabeth,” as graduates walked across the stage on Thursday.

The leadership and faculty of Thomas Jefferson University extend our sincerest apologies for the mispronunciations of the names of several of our graduating nursing students during our recent commencement ceremony,” the school said.

The school added that the "ceremony is a celebration of the significant achievements of our students, and each graduate deserves to have their name honored correctly on this pivotal day.”

The speaker purportedly apologized during the ceremony, claiming the phonetic spellings on her cards caused her to mispronounce the names.

We also recognize that commencement is not only a milestone for our students but also a deeply important day for their families and loved ones who have supported them throughout their educational journey,” the university said. “This unfortunate error does not reflect the immense respect we have for our graduates and the value we place on their hard-earned accomplishments.”

Thomas Jefferson’s ceremony was one of several that made headlines as other colleges ended academic years marked by pro-Palestine protests.

At Duke University, dozens of graduates walked out of their ceremony Sunday as Jerry Seinfeld took the stage to deliver his commencement address. Some attendees booed and chanted pro-Palestinian chants. Seinfeld has supported Israel during its war against Hamas terrorists.

On Saturday, Virginia Commonwealth University graduates left their commencement ceremony as Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin delivered his speech. The students marched on the school’s campus with pro-Palestinian cheers.

Gov. Youngkin has criticized student protests against their schools’ investments in companies perceived as helping Israel in its war, telling CNN last month he would oppose any campus encampments.

“I have been working with our attorney general, Jason Miyares, our university presidents, law enforcement at the state, local and campus level, to make sure if there are protests, they are peaceful,” he said. “We will protect the ability to peacefully express yourself, but we’re not going to have the kind of hate speech and intimidation that we’re seeing across the country.”
