Ett sådant är att sätta en punkt före repliken. Enligt denna princip lanserar vi nu en ljudhärmande stavning för talfenomenet: .jo. Det är så ett inandnings-jo låter. ― In conversation analysis, however, there are several ways to indicate that something is said while inhaling. One such way is to place a period before the utterance. Following this principle, we now introduce a sound-imitating spelling for this speech phenomenon: .jo. That’s how an inhaled "jo" sounds.”
