In the quasi-Philly accent, reinforcement occurs for certain vowels or diphthongs before consonants: | |||
*The nucleus is shortened. | |||
*When the consonant is a resonant, the offglide is lengthened: ''fame'' [fɪiːm] | |||
*When the consonant is NOT a resonant, the consonant is lengthened: ''face'' [fɪjsː] | |||
