Talk:goropism

pronunciation
is it really stressed on the second /o/? it seems a word like this would be so rarely spoken aloud that i'd think it'd default to the normal pronunciation method for such words, which would be to assume a name "Gorop" and therefore stress the first syllable. — Soap — 08:12, 4 January 2024 (UTC)


 * It’s based on the pronunciation of “Goropius” which you can see at “Johannes Goropius Becanus”. It makes sense that this word should follow the pronunciation of the name. — Sgconlaw (talk) 11:43, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
 * if the word were Goropian, I'd expect the pronunciation to follow, but -ism seems to behave as if it were a single syllable in English, perhaps because -ist is. I will try to find more examples of stress mismatch involving -ism, since I dont think this word is spoken out loud often enough for us to be able to rely on what we hear, and yet I really think that word-initial stress must be acceptable even if it's just one of two pronunciations.

 * you may want to raise this matter for a broader discussion at the Tea Room. — Sgconlaw (talk) 14:15, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
