We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Subject: Phonetics and Phonology: English Vowels


I am having a problem understanding the phonetic and phonological
differences between properties of English vowels and, assuming there are
differences, what use are they? Also, where does vowel length fall in this
distinction?

In almost every paper or article, the topic seems to be slippery. I could
not find any source talking about this topic in a satisfactory way.

Can any one refer me to any papers or sources or help in this area?
