<br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">I've found the discussions by Ben et al about forward</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
/ foreword interesting.</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">As a Londoner I would pronounce the two completely</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">differently always, whether stressed or not. 'forward'</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">would be pronounced as one word so /'
fUuw@d/, whereas</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">'foreward' is pronounced as if it was two words, being</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">/'fo:w3:d/ with secondary stress on 'word'. But I</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">don't think this has anything to do with my accent
</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">being non-rhotic as Ron suggests. There's other</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
processes going on here. The raising of 'or' to /Uu/</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">when non-morpheme final (forward not considered as two</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
