| |
| − | ** cauliflower [kɑləflawɻ̩]
| |

| |
| − |
| |
| − | == voicing ==

| |
| − | * ostrich, sandwich — [ˈɒstɻɪdʒ], [ˈsÆndwɪdʒ]
| |
| − | * congratulations — [kn̩gɻæʤəˈlei̯ʃɪndz]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Also, it's interesting to look at stuff across syllable boundaries. Not sure what the phonetics are like, should investigate some time.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * substitute — [ˈsʌpstətʉt]
| |
| − | * hubcap — [ˈhʌpkæp] (?)
| |
| − | * Presbyterian

| |
| − | * t(o)mato

| − | * v(a)riety
| |
| − | * p(o)litical [plɪ.ɾə.kɨl]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | === /ə/ elsewhere ===
| |
| − | The generalisation here seems to be that after a stressed syllable, /ə/ is deleted when /ɻ̯/ or /l/ (or /n/) that can start a syllable follows. These are also all formerly penultimate /ə/s, making the stressed syllable now penultimate.

| − | Notes:
| |
| − | * ¹ Long or diphthongal
| |
| − | * ² Can be nucleus of heavy syllable
| |
| − | * ³ Rounding optional
| |
| − | * Maybe /o/ is the the dipthongal mid-front vowel, and /ɻ/ is tense mid-back vowel.. but then there'd be two before-/ɻ/ versions for mid-front... hm.
| |
| − | * Maybe the mid-front gap is because /əu̯/ from GVS merged with /au̯/. And maybe this gap is the cause for Valley Girl o → /ɛu̯/.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Generalisations:
| |
| − | * Back vowels rounded before /ɻ/, front vowels not; back vowels generally more likely to be rounded
| |
| − | * All back tense vowels have optional rounding. Yiddish /ɔ/ borrowed as JNWE /ə/.
| |
| − | * Non-low tense vowels are optionally long or diphthong
| |
| − | * Front vowels diphthongise to back high point; back vowels to front high point. The tense vowels are opposite. Hmm...
