Galician mid-vowel reduction

2018
Contemporary Galician presents a phonemic distinction between open ([-ATR]) and close ([+ATR) mid vowels: /ɛ, ɔ/ vs. /e, o/, respectively, which holds under primary stress. However, in a number of phonologically and/or morphologically defined contexts the [ATR] value of mid vowels, both stressed and unstressed, is predictable.

Through a comparative analysis of 23 contemporary Pano languages/varieties, we reconstruct a Proto-Pano system with two additional mid vowels, proposing a six-vowel inventory.

Mid vowel assimilation in siSwati

Southern African Linguistics and Applied Language Studies, 2015
Previous analyses of the behaviour of siSwati mid vowels show conflicting results. According to Ziervogel and Mabuza, and  Taljaard and Snyman, siSwati mid vowels are raised to close mid [e, o] when preceding the high vowels [i, u] (e.g. [likʰeʃi] ‘lift’ (n.), [inɮovu] ‘elephant’) but remain open mid [ɛ, ɔ] before [-high] vowels (e.g. [liʦemba] ‘hope n.
