Here's a question about English accent comparison. This might not be the right place to ask at, but I'll try anyway.
Whate are the differences in phonemic inventory of Irish Supraregional compared to RP?
Why is the Irish English vowel in the lexical set FACE /e:/ not a difference in phonemic inventory (compared to RP's diphthong in the same lexical set)?
(Compared to e.g. RP's diphthongs /ɪə, eə, ʊə/ vs. GA in ‘beard’ /bɪrd/, ‘fare’ /fer/, ‘dour’ /dʊr/ which are said to be differences in phonemic inventory)
Just as GA is “lacking” in RP's diphthongs, can't the same be applied for Irish Supraregional vowel in the FACE set, i.e. it's lacking the /eɪ/ diphthong ? (or RP lacking the /e/ in such ph. environment – as far as I'm concerned, /e/ can only appear in RP in the diphthong /eɪ/)
Thank you, anyone who can clarify.
