Правило позиционной долготы гласных

Долгота английского гласного звука зависит от позиции: 1. Гласные (как напряженные /i, з, α, ¿, u/, так и ненапряженные /ı, e, æ, \, Ã,, /) под ударением произносятся максимально долго в позиции абсолютного конца: tea /ti:/, me /mi:/.   shortest longest bit /bıt/ beat /bit/ bid /bıd/ bead /bi:d/ 2. Ударные гласные (как напряженные, так и ненапряженные) произносятся несколько короче в закрытом слоге перед слабозвонкими согласными: feed /fid/, big /bıg/, peas /piz/. 3. В позиции перед сонантами /l, m, n/ распределение долготы между ударными гласными (как напряженными, так и ненапряженными) и сонантами — 50 × 50: bill /bıl/, pin /pın/, ten /ten/, deal /dil/. 4. Ударные гласные (напряженные) произносятся кратко в закрытом слоге перед глухими согласными, в этой же позиции ненапряженные гласные произносятся очень кратко («усеченно»): sit /sıt/, leak /lik/.
