WHAT DOES BETACISM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Betacism

In historical linguistics, betacism is a sound change in which shifts to . Betacism is a fairly common phenomenon; it has taken place in Greek, Hebrew, and Spanish, among others. In Classical Greek, the letter beta <β> denoted. As a result of betacism, it has come to denote in Modern Greek. Indeed, this is the origin of the word betacism. Perhaps the best known example of betacism is in the Romance languages. The first traces of betacism in Latin can be found in the third century C.E. The results of the shift are most widespread in the Western Romance languages, especially in Spanish, where the letters <b> and <v> are now both pronounced except phrase-initially and after when they are pronounced; the two sounds are now allophones. A similar phenomenon takes place in Persian in casual speech. Another example is in Neapolitan, or in Maceratese which uses <v> to denote betacism-produced, such that Italian bocca corresponds to Neapolitan vocca and to Maceratese "vocca", Italian albero to arvero, and barba to Neapolitan varva and Maceratese "varba".
