TY - JOUR T1 - The historical development of the vowels ē and ō and their allophones in the Jewish dialect of Baghdad PY - 2018 N2 - The vowels ē and ō in the Jewish dialect of Baghdad (JB) mostly originate from diphthongs. When unstressed they are realized in certain cases as i and u, whereas in others they are realized as short e and o. This article aims to sketch the diachronic development of ē and ō in JB, as well as to explain the mechanism that dictates the choice of their different allophones in an unstressed position.
