Then, as a T, it can itself be glottalised: in the sitcom Birds of a feather, for instance, "I didn't" -> /aː 'dɪʔənʔ/ | |
| Jul 15, 2021 at 14:49 | comment | added | tea-and-cake | Good answer, but I'd add a few pedantic observations: most accents of England are nonrhotic, but all Scots and NI accents are rhotic and so are some Welsh, so it's probably better to say that most English-English accents are nonrhotic, rather than most British. And, certainly in SE English and in Scottish accents, T-glottalisation can occur in any syllable coda, even in, for instance "lottery" /'loʔəri/ (very broad transcription there on the r and i, to be fairly accent-neutral). | |
