I mainly envisaged it as a way to convey mood. But I haven't figured out a way to alter the flow of words without having to create entirely new words. Still, it's an intriguing idea. You could have "flowy" phonotactics to convey pleasure or contentment and more guttural phonotactics for anger and frustration. So basically make functional use of the classic "guttural language for angry people and airy language for the shiny people" cliche.<br /><br />Yes, I realize that would require a bit more than simple phonotactics. I'm just curious if it could be done.Proud Neanderthalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06536860974291448899noreply@blogger.com
