does transcribing (GenAm English) "sang" as [sæŋ] make sense to any of y'all?
@alyssa pretty sure i do [seŋ] myself; æ would make “sang” more open than “seng” and i definitely don’t do that
wiktionary gives both [sæŋ] and [seɪŋ] tho, so evidently some people do pronounce it [æ]
@Lady i would also analyze my "sang" as [seŋ], somewhere in that territory; this book transcribed it as mentioned above with æ tho. this article is perplexing me.
