The ə and vowel lengthening in St. Lawrence Island Eskimo*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 February 2009
Extract
One peculiarity of St. Lawrence Island (SLI henceforth) Eskimo is the vowel lengthening which is triggered by the [ə] (or [ɨ]).Such vowel lengthening only takes place in the first syllable and under certain phonological conditions. The vowel thus lengthened assumes the full length of a long vowel, distinct from a short vowel and a ‘fake’ long vowel.
