Rhone-alpes

Rhone-Alpes is a former administrative region in southeastern France, located on the western end of the Alps mountain range. It was one of the 22 regions of metropolitan France before it was abolished in 2016. The name "Rhone-Alpes" comes from the Rhone and Alps rivers, which flow through the region.

Rhone

The Rhône is a major river in eastern France and Switzerland, about 812 kilometers long and it drains most of central-eastern France. It is a significant waterway in the southeastern region of France, where it flows through the city of Lyon. The river originates in Switzerland, where it is called the Rhin, joining the River Aare to form the Reuss. The Rhône is joined by the Saône River in Lyon. The joining rivers form a unique opposing currents phenomenon that is known as the "Saône Seine tidal conveyor belt." From Lyon, the Rhône flows northwards, along with the waterway connected to the Mediterranean and flows to the sea.

Rhopalic

Rhopalic is a rhetorical device used in speech or writing, where a phrase is repeated by using synonyms, often in a series of words. It is also known as "reduplication." The word "rhopalism" although not widely used, describes a rhopalism in poetry or rhythm, specifically a short succession of identical words. Examples of how it is used include repeating a word many times with slight modifications, for example: "free, frank, frank, frankness, franker", rather than using identical words in repetitive pattern like: "free, free, free".

Rhopalium

Rhopalium is a rhinophoral organ found in certain invertebrates, usually cephalopods, such as octopuses. It is a small, sensory appendage that is paired and homologous to the mandibular palp of other arthropods, such as insects. The rostral margin of the rhopalium bears rows with the primitive New World short-beaked rhinoporidae was an order of primitive cephalopods characterized by their small hinged shells in groups of two.

Rhopalocera

Rhopaloceral

Rhopaloceral refers to the structure of the shell or profile of a leaf that is shaped like a balancer, where a hinge, or the insertion point of the petiole, is at the basal or proximal end and there are two basal ears or auricles on the petiole.

Rhoptries

The words "rhoptries" refers to a structure found in certain unicellular parasites, such as Toxoplasma gondii. Rhoptries are organelles that are involved in the invasion of host cells. In more detail, rhoptries are paired, secretory organelles of the sporozoan parasites, such as Plasmodium spp. and Toxoplasma gondii. They are involved in the parasitoid invasion of host cells and the formation of parasitophorous vacuoles. The term "rhoptries" is derived from the Greek word "rhopos" which means "blunt" or "bodied". Rhoptries are typically club-shaped and are one of the most distinctive features of the parasitoid's cells. In Toxoplasma gondii, rhoptry secretion proteins interact with the host's cell membrane to facilitate the parasite's invasion of the cell, while also providing the necessary energy to accomplish this.

Rhotacised

In phonetics, the term "rhotacised" refers to a dialect or accent in which the sound /r/ (the "r" sound) is pronounced after vowels. In some dialects, the /r/ is not pronounced after vowels, but in a rhotacised accent, it is. For example, in Received Pronunciation (often considered the standard accent of British English), the word "car" is pronounced as /kär/ (with a vowel sound followed by the /r/ sound); whereas in some non-rhotic dialects, such as Cockney, the word "car" is pronounced more like /kä/, with no /r/ sound. So, rhotacised refers to the pronunciation of the /r/ sound after vowels, which distinguishes it from non-rhotic pronunciations where the /r/ sound is not pronounced in this position.

Rhotacism

Rhotacism is a speech disorder or a speech impediment in which the sound /r/ (a trill, as in "red" or "car") is mispronounced at the end of words. Those who have rhotacism pronounce /r/ as /w/ or /v/, so "red" sounds like "wed" or "ved", and "car" sounds like "caw".

Rhotacistic

Having or showing a tendency to pronounce the sound "r" with a humming or guttural sound.

Rhotacized

In linguistics, "rhotacized" refers to a non-standard dialect of a language, particularly pronounced in English, in which the sound /r/ is pronounced after the vowels A, E, I, and U, even when the letter R comes after a consonant and after any vowel for some varieties of English. Examples include: Car -> Kar Carrot -> Kar-rot Fair -> Far However, in Received Pronunciation of English (RP), as well as some dialects of the language, the sound /r/ is often not pronounced after the vowels A, E, I, and U, which may lead people using this accent to be labeled as "non-rhotic" or to "drop the R".

Rhotic

The term "rhotic" refers to a type of accent or dialect in which the sound /r/ is pronounced after a vowel. This is in contrast to non-rhotic accents, where the /r/ is often silent after a vowel. In rhotic accents, the /r/ is often pronounced as a distinct sound, especially in words like "car," "bar", and "far". This means that the /r/ is pronounced with a clear and typical "r" sound. Examples of rhotic accents include many North American dialects, such as General American, some Scottish and Irish dialects, and some Caribbean dialects. In contrast, non-rhotic accents, such as Received Pronunciation (RP) or Cockney, often do not pronounce the /r/ sound after a vowel, so instead of "car", it sounds like "cah". Rhoticity is an important feature of some English accents and can affect how words are pronounced and spoken.

Rhoticisation

Rhoticization refers to the process by which non-rhotic languages or dialects, characterized by the absence or near-absence of the sound /r/ in certain positions, evolve to incorporate this sound in their pronunciation. This can occur through contact with languages that have a presence of /r/, such as in the process of language convergence or borrowing. For example, in the past, Received Pronunciation (RP) in England did not have a distinct pronunciation of the sound /r/. The historical pronunciation had a different set of features, and it was often phonetically and phonologically realized as a non-r or /r/ was absent altogether. However, the influence of immigrant languages such as Scottish and Irish has led to certain forms of RP exhibiting rhoticity under certain syllable conditions, similar to those found in American English. Rhoticization can also be seen in non-standard dialects.

Rhoticism

Rhoticism refers to a linguistic phenomenon in which a consonantal sound pronounced as [r] is pronounced significantly different from other languages or even in the same language at other times.

Rhoticity

Rhoticity refers to the pronunciation of the sound /r/ in certain languages, especially in English. In rhotic accents, the sound /r/ is pronounced after vowels, whereas in non-rhotic accents, it is often reduced or dropped. In non-rhotic dialects, when a word ends with a vowel followed by "r", the "r" sound may be absent or reduced, such as in Received Pronunciation (RP) of English, where the word "car" might be pronounced more like "cah". In contrast, in rhotic accents, the "r" sound is pronounced, so "car" would be pronounced as "car". Rhoticity is an important aspect of language variation and can be used to distinguish between different regional or social dialects.
