Examplesofschwaschwa The best way to elicit aschwais to direct attention away from it and on to the stressed syllable of the word. From theCambridge English Corpus We find greater tip raising before both types ofschwa, indicating light \\l\\ beforeschwaand dark \\l\\ in coda position. From theCambridge English Corpus The innovative variants are used by the younger non-professional speakers, especially females, who use more of the openschwa-like pronunciations. From theCambridge English Corpus The preservation ofschwain a converging phonological system.

From theCambridge English Corpus However, it would not be quite correct to say that the intrusiveschwaconditions the degemination or vice versa. From theCambridge English Corpus However, assuming underlying schwas elsewhere seems to counter the desire to account for the predictability of non-alternating schwas.
