Subject: land mines

  Twice today I heard NPR newspersons, one a man, the other a woman
  (I didn't catch their names) speak of the Nobel peace prize as going to
  the movement to "band land mines," using an intrusive /d/. Notably,
  they didn't intrude /d/ when using "ban" or "banning" alone. (And just
  now a third announcer said the phrase without /d/). Is this a common
  phenomenon I've just never attended to before? Here in southern Ohio
  an intrusive /l/ is common, clearly heard with a suffix ("draw(l)ing"
  but only slightly salient word-final ("mamaw(l)"=grandma). Intrusive
  /r/ is of course familiar, though my non-using students generalize it
  to word-final contexts too.
