- innocenat 9y agoSpoken language has accent.
- HumanDrivenDev 9y agoIn mandarin people tend to add lots of little "particles" (not sure about the proper linguistic term) when they speak, which seems to be a way of adapting to homophones.
- innocentoldguy 9y ago@HumanDrivenDev - Right, because in spoken conversation the listener can ask for clarification when the speaker's commentary is ambiguous, which happens all the time. You cannot do that when you're reading a book.
