Canadian raising
[edit]“[aʊ] house, now”
This seems to disregard w:Canadian raising, which is one of the defining features of Canadian accents. The words are pronounced like /ɦʌʊs, naʊ/ in Canada. The feature is significant in determining meaning: you /ɦaʊz/ things in a /ɦʌʊs/; also writer /ɹʌɪɾəɹ/, rider /ɹaɪɾəɹ/. —Michael Z. 2008-11-25 22:13 z
