The
mid front rounded vowel
is a type of
vowel
sound, used in some spoken
languages
.
Although there is no dedicated symbol in the
International Phonetic Alphabet
that represents the "exact" mid front rounded vowel between close-mid
[ø]
and open-mid
[œ]
, ⟨
ø
⟩ is generally used. If precision is desired, diacritics can be used, such as ⟨
ø?
⟩ or ⟨
œ?
⟩.
Mid front compressed vowel
[
edit
]
The
mid front compressed vowel
is typically transcribed in IPA simply as ⟨
ø?
⟩ or ⟨
œ?
⟩. This article uses the first symbol for simplicity. There is no dedicated
diacritic
for compression in the IPA. However, the compression of the lips can be shown with the letter ⟨
β?
⟩ as ⟨
e??β?
⟩ / ⟨
???β?
⟩ (simultaneous
[e?]
/
[??]
and labial compression) or ⟨
e??
⟩ / ⟨
???
⟩ (
[e?]
/
[??]
modified with labial compression). The spread-lip diacritic ⟨
?
⟩ may also be used with a rounded vowel letters ⟨
ø??
⟩ / ⟨
œ??
⟩ as an
ad hoc
symbol, though technically 'spread' means unrounded.
Features
[

- Its
vowel height
is
mid
, which means the tongue is positioned halfway between a
close vowel
and an
open vowel
.
- Its
vowel backness
is
front
, which means the tongue is positioned forward in the mouth without creating a constriction that would be classified as a
consonant
. Rounded front vowels are often
centralized
, which means that often they are in fact
near-front
.
- Its
roundedness
is compressed, which means that the margins of the lips are tense and drawn together in such a way that the inner surfaces are not exposed.
Occurrence

Because front rounded vowels are assumed to have compression, and few descriptions cover the distinction, some of the following may actually have protrusion.

Catford notes

that most languages with rounded front and back vowels use distinct types of labialization, protruded back vowels and compressed front vowels. However, a few languages, such as
Scandinavian
ones, have protruded front vowels. One of these, Swedish, even contrasts the two types of rounding in front vowels (see
near-close near-front rounded vowel
, with Swedish examples of both types of rounding).
As there are no diacritics in the IPA to distinguish protruded and compressed rounding, ⟨
ø??
⟩ (a mid front rounded vowel modified by endolabialization) will be used here as an
ad hoc
symbol for protruded mid front vowels.
Acoustically, this sound is "between" the more typical compressed mid front vowel
[ø?]
and the unrounded mid front vowel
[
e?
]
.
