English Language & Usage Asked on November 21, 2020
I was wondering for a long while, and I can’t seem to find the word.
I’m thinking of the way people, when feeling strong emotion, replace ‘r’s with ‘w’s, and generally are clumsy with their pronunciation.
Maybe, as I mentioned above, clumsy with words— but I feel that has another meaning.
I can do well with just explicitly telling them their pronunciation was tumbling all over the place, but I believe in the show don’t tell technique and wanna follow it throughout my writing.
Edit: trill?
This is called slurring your words:
Slurring your words can be commonly caused by exhaustion or alcohol consumption.
Or as an adjective:
Slurred speech is a symptom characterized by poor pronunciation of words, mumbling, or a change in speed or rhythm during talking. The medical term for slurred speech is dysarthria.
