Notes

  1. ^ In Philadelphia, began, ran, and swam alone in this set remain lax.[3]
  2. ^ The tenseness of the word family varies by speaker.[7]
  3. ^ In New England, Pittsburgh,[10] and Florida[11] and in scatterings through the Midland US,[12] the (mostly coastal) Southern US, and the Western US,[13] /æ/ is more close before /m, n/,
    more mid before /b, g, d, dʒ/, and more open elsewhere.[14] However, in most of the Western US and elsewhere in the Midland US,[15] possible pronunciations of /æ/ are more continuous, though still the most close before /m, n/.
  4. ^ In Minnesota and Wisconsin especially, /æ/ raising before /g/ is often strong enough to produce a merger of /æg/ and /eɪg/, for example causing haggle and Hegel to be homophones.[17]
  5. ^ In Philadelphia, bad, mad, and glad alone in this set become tense.
  6. ^ In the Upper Midwest, particularly the eastern half, /æ/ may show general raising in the vicinity of [eə].[18]

Others as, back, frank, happy, locality;[41] etc. [æ][42]
For the phoneme /æ/, [eə] represents a tense pronunciation and [æ] a non-tense (or lax) pronunciation. The term "continuous" refers to a system without a decisive phonemic split of /æ/, followed by whichever allophone predominates in the given context.

Notes

  1. ^ In Philadelphia, began, ran, and swam alone remain lax.[21]
  2. ^ Exact allophones vary by region's or even individual's participation in a nasal or continuous system.
  3. ^ In New England, Pittsburgh,[29] and Florida[30] and in scatterings through the Midland US,[31] the (mostly coastal) Southern US, and the Western US,[32] /æ/ is more close before /m, n/, more mid before /b, g, d, dʒ/, and more open elsewhere.[33] However, in most of the Western US and elsewhere in the Midland US,[34] possible pronunciations of /æ/ are more continuous, though still the most close before /m, n/.
  4. ^ In Minnesota and Wisconsin especially, /æ/ raising before /g/ is often strong enough to produce a merger of /æg/ and /eɪg/, for example causing haggle and Hegel to be homophones.[17]
  5. ^ In Philadelphia, bad, mad, and glad alone in this set become tense.
Footnotes
  • Nearly all American English speakers pronounce /æŋ/ somewhere between [æŋ] and [eɪŋ], though Western speakers specifically favor [eɪŋ].
  • The Great Lakes dialect traditionally tenses /æ/ in all cases to at least some degree, but reversals of that tensing before non-nasal consonants (while often maintaining some of the other vowel shifts of the region) has been observed recently where it has been studied (in Lansing and Syracuse).
  • In American phonology, /æ/ before /r/ is often transcribed as /ɛ/ due to the prevalence of the Mary–marry merger. However, a distinct /æ/ before /r/ remains in much of the Northeastern U.S. (strongest in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, and Baltimore) and some of the Southern U.S.


TENSE": magic, imagine,

checked /b, d, dʒ/ or any old /b, d, ʃ, v, z/?
