Political observers and journalists have been arguing over the issue for months, and the Republican presidential nominee finally delivered some clarity in an interview with EWTN, a Catholic broadcasting network.
"In appearance after appearance, there is one bit of Trump syntax that has created debate in households across America," interviewer Raymond Arroyo said. "My final question, it is perhaps the most portentous ... are you saying 'bigly' or 'big league?'"
"Are you talking about for me?" Trump asked. "[I] use 'big league.'"
Trump's answer jives with what linguists told The New York Times earlier this week - that "acoustic cues" indicated a second "g" sound when Trump used the phrase.
