👉 In the context of linguistics, "hominify" is a phrase that refers to a method or technique used for producing speech sounds in a human-like manner. This can be achieved by using a combination of vocal cords and mouth muscles in a way that mimics the sound produced by animals such as chimpanzees. For example, when someone uses their left hand to produce a "chew" sound while holding their right hand up in the air, they are employing hominify techniques.
