Peter T. Daniels:
Which, in my phonetics classes and everywhere else, is the low front
vowel -- [E] being mid front and [a] being low central.

in sci.lang:
Ladefoged called it ([&]) low front.

Wel, then maybe Peter D.'s teacher, or Peter D., and /or Artur,
haven't been paying attention, or Peter Ladefoged later changed his
mind, or Peter L. was misquoted in his online book at

http://hctv.humnet.ucla.edu/departments/linguistics/VowelsandConsonants/cour
se/chapter1/chapter1.html
because there too, [a] is low front, not low central.

There's a link on his homepage (www.linguistics.ucla.edu/people/ladefoge/)
to the University of Glasgow site I linked to.

Does anyone know why Kirshenbaum
(http://www.kirshenbaum.net/IPA/ascii-ipa.pdf, page 6) says IPA <æ> (the
"ash" ligature) represents a low vowel?
