Is schwa a phoneme? When in §1.2 I introduce the
phonemes, do I write /@/ or [@]? I guess we have
a minimal pair in <dâ> [dæ:] 'good', <da> [d@]
'to'.
We've written our phoneme corresponding to <a> as
/æ/ because the pronunciation is long [æ:] short
[æ]. We have written [ha] for <ha> 'and' however.
Ought we?
