Unstressed vowels horsES/commA

In NfldE, the unstressed vowel of horsES is generally higher and more fronted than the unstressed syllable-final vowel of commA: as elsewhere in North America, the former is articulated in the range of [ə] or , while realizations of the latter are more []-like. As in many other varieties, this opposition distinguishes ‘im (=him) and ‘em (= them) in sequences like Give ‘im a book and Give ‘em a book. However, in many phonetic environments the two vowels may be pronounced identically, as in the unstressed syllables of pig it and bigot.
