6. Pig Latin is a common language game of English; but eve Pig Latin has dialects, forms of the “language game” with different rules.
A. Consider the following data from three dialects of Pig Latin, each with its own rule applied to words beginning with vowels:
Dialect 1 Dialect 2 Dialect 3
“eat” [itme] [ithe] [ite]
“arc” [arkme] [arkhe] [arke]
“expose” [ɛkespozme] [ɛkspozhe] [ɛkspoze]
i. State the rule that accounts for the Pig Latin forms in each dialect.
ii. How would you say honest, admire, and illegal in each dialect?
B. In one dialect of Pig Latin, the word strike is pronounced [aɪkstre], and in another dialect it is pronounced [traɪkse]. In the first dialect, slot is pronounced [atsle] and in the second dialect, it is pronounced [latse].
i. State the rules for each of these dialects that account for these different Pig Latin forms of the same words.
ii. Give the phonetic transcriptions for spot, crisis, and scratch in both dialects.
I am just really confused with this and would love it if someone could walk me through it.
