The main difference between voiced "th" (/ð/) and "d" is the placement of the tongue. For "th", the tongue is placed against the upper teeth, with voiced air passing through creating a fricative sound. For "d", the tongue is placed against the alveolar ridge behind the upper teeth, creating a stop sound when the airstream is stopped and released.

What does the Chinese accent sound like?

From an amateur linguist: The phenomenon of accent really stems from phonetic influence of first-language influence on the second language, in this case, the phonetics of Mandarin or Cantonese on that of English. One of the major features of Chinese phonetics is the paucity of voiced consonants. E.g. the "d" in "大" (Mandarin: da; Cantonese: daai) is voiceless, while the "d" in "dog" in English is voiced. So a native Chinese speaker when speaking in English mistakenly think the two "d"s are the same and thus pronounce and "d" in "dog" as voiceless, which is the case in their native language. To extend that, native Chinese speakers also tend to "unvoice" the supposedly voiced consonants "g", "b", "z", etc. in English too, producing an accent. Of course this is only one reason for the rise of a "Chinese accent". Other factors include the difference in "r", lack of "th" in Chinese, etc.

What is the 14th term in an arethmetic sequence in which the first term is 100 and the common difference is -4?

Use the following formula: an = a1 + (n - 1)d, where a1 = the first term n = the n th term (general term) d = common difference (which is constant between terms) Since we need to find the 14 th term, we can write: a1 = 100 n = 14 d = -4 an = a1 + (n - 1)d a14 = 100 + (14 - 1)(-4) a14 = 100 + (13)(-4) a14 = 100 - 52 a14 = 48 Thus, the 14 th term is 48.
