ABSTRACT
Chapter 5 discusses the long vowels palm /ɑ/, thought /ɔ/, sport [o] and stressed schwar /ər/. In addition, the distribution of the dress /ɛ/ and trap /æ/ vowels before /r/ is dealt with, notably the fact that it is very common these days for TRAP /æ/ to be replaced by DRESS /ɛ/ before intervocalic /r/
