"Schwa is never stressed" – FALSE

Business Inquiries: [email protected] Hi! I want to share the fascination and fun of speech, language and accents, and I'm so grateful to anyone who feels able to support this work via my Patreon. I studied at University College London and got my PhD at the University of California Los Angeles. I've taught at universities including UCL, Edinburgh and Cambridge, published research in many areas, and worked as a forensic analyst. I've given invited lectures and workshops around the world. I wrote the influential 'English After RP' (Palgrave Macmillan), and my blog contains over a hundred audio-illustrated articles. I'm co-editor of the free searchable online pronouncing dictionary CUBE. I've also worked in film and TV as a screenwriter and director. I wrote the screenplay and arranged the music (performed by Lang Lang) for the animated fantasy Magic Piano, which was shortlisted for an Academy Award nomination.

Join my Discord: https://discord.com/invite/UBWMy5wqZY -- The reason why so many Americans are confused by the symbols ʌ and ə is they are just ONE vowel phoneme in General American accents. (Note: many Americans feel they have their unstressed /ɪ/ rather than /ə/ in some of the words shown from dictionaries in the video. But that still doesn't mean a distinct /ʌ/.)
