Subject: American tense /ae/ informants

Hello,

I'm looking for informants who are native speakers of a variety of
American English that has (near-)complementary distribution between
lax [ae] (e.g. in polysyllabic words like "happy", maybe also in
monosyllabic words before certain consonants like "cat, cap, tack,
pal, hang") and tense [E] (e.g. in "ram, ran, laugh, path, pass").

Anyone who can help please drop me a line at
green at kronos.ling.uni-potsdam.de

Thanks!
Antony Green
