Vowel length

NEVER

Abercrombie (1979: 74) discusses the possibility of a ‘third’ phoneme between /I/ and /ε/ for Scottish Standard English, occurring in a few words such as never, seven, heaven, devil, which he transcribes with , and which may be restricted to certain regions such as the West of Scotland, the Borders, and Edinburgh. My own experience from teaching Scottish students confirms  for some speakers but with no obvious areal distribution and a good deal of individual variation (cf. Wells 1982: 404). In Scots the equivalent vowel is BIT or BET (Johnston 1997: 471).
