When you raise a voiced “th” with a consonant order “z” or “r” on the vowel shift.
What do I always find myself pronouncing with a
stopped sound intermediate between a “r” and the smoother (fricative)
sound of “th” in words such as father,
mother, brother, other, feather, dither, breathe, loathe, smooth?
I speak German a lot, putting the sound “r”, “dis, dat, deze, doze”. Some Americans still sound this thing, but many Americans still pronounce it that way. Is it true that the “D” must carry a particular “R”, and that the “‘R” should not go down in front of the mouth?
When is a gesture of consonant shift included in English?
Is there evidence for chain shift? Ultimately, you would need to do careful measurements of though, doe, roe as said by: members of
- your childhood cohort who pronounce though with not , members of
- your childhood cohort who pronounce though with not , I’m mildly
doubtful of a chain shift because apico-dental and apico/lamino-coronal sounds can coexist in the same language, and to make things easier, you have affrication help to differentiate voice
