Australian Linguistics
Some stuff about Australian language, both indigenous and imported.
I don’t agree entirely with the Australian English analysis—while I guess it makes sense for the /eə/ → /eː/, after then, it makes more sense to add in a short::long::diphthong distinction. They also forget about everyone’s favorite vowel, /ɔː/ as in ’gone’ and the now-definitely-phonemic /æː/.
