Which environment do you think [ph] and [?t] can both occur in?
Word finally, of course; that's why I mentioned 'unreleased
[p]'. Most often but not quite exclusively at the end of an
utterance.
Which dialects of English have word-final [ph] and [?t]
If you look at my original question, you'll see that I did
not assume the existence of any such dialects.
(and of obviously, don't have word-final [th] and [?p])?
???
We appear to be at complete cross-purposes here. I wondered
about your original claim precisely because I can have all
of [?t], [t], [th], [?p], [p], and [ph] word-finally, though
the aspirated stops are much less common than the other four
and almost always utterance-final. But it now occurs to me
that the aspiration here may actually be a prosodic feature.
