[f. Trager (see Trager–Smith), after phonemics.]
A mock-technical term for the approach to phonemic analysis characteristic of the American linguist George L. Trager. Hence trageˈremic a. (see quot. 1967).
1963R. I. McDavid Mencken's Amer. Lang. 249 About 1950 E. Bagby Atwood coined Trageremics to designate phonemics according to the specifications of George L. Trager. 1967― in Publ. Amer. Dial. Soc. xlvii. 4 There does seem to be unnecessary virtuosity in displaying for individual entries the whole range of trageremic differences in the low-front vowel range. Ibid. 20 By trageremic (a term coined by Atwood) I refer to George Trager's analysis of all English syllable nuclei as composed of nine vowels and three semivowels. 1978Amer. Speech LIII. 171, I mastered Trageremics in the middle 1950s. |
