Ok so, this is about my intrusive R. Having grown up, mostly, in Boston, I have intrusive R (although lately it's been disappearing, but that's not the issue). I later moved to California, and I changed my accent. My /Q/ became /A/ my father and bother merged, my sorry and torrent merged, in short, I underwent all the mergers Californian English has. However, my intrusive R remained.
The thing is, I'm C-C merged. I say law like /lA/ and saw like /sA/. When I talk about the show "Law and Order," for instance, I say [lOr\@n Or\4@']. And when I say "I saw it yesterday" I say [aI sOr\It¬? jEst@'4EI]. My intrusive R makes /A/ turn into /O/ so I have [Or\] instead of [Ar\].
It's a quite weird feature, honestly, but does this happen to anyone else??
