@Stoller_System @accentvoiceguy PS I'm realizing "non-coronal" is a bad descriptor as coronality doesn't define English /r/ (hi, bunched r!)
@Stoller_System @accentvoiceguy [2/2] is a pretty good example: goo.gl/cs5di1, at least for younger speakers, although it varies
@Stoller_System @accentvoiceguy [1/2] Sorry, just saw this now! I think this RTE report on Limerick gangs ...
K. Lamar uses AAE's continuative "steady" in "Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst" ("steady being distracted"="continue being distracted")
@Stoller_System [2/2] Makes some sense since /r/ is oft. velarized in Ireland, so it's a matter of weakening/dropping the coronal component
@Stoller_System [1/2] A lot of what sounds to me like ɰ (Hickey also mentions ʁ in some areas)
