The
Phonetic Vowel [ ɛ ] in Milluk Before L: In
this interview segment from early in the interview, Lolly Metcalf does not
demonstrate the phonetic range of the Milluk phonemic vowel / æ / in this word,
as she does in the interview segment “Afraid 2”, which is from late in the
interview. The Milluk phonemic vowel / æ
/ tends to be pronounced more like the phonetic vowel [ ɛ ] before the
consonant L [ l ]. That is the only way
that we hear it in this interview segment.
