Vowel length is influenced by whether or not a word exists in the language or is a nonce form. As shown in Table 5, for each vowel shape, vowels are longer in nonce forms than in existing forms. In Table 6 we see that GLOTTALIZED vowels are longer in final position than in nonfinal position but that SHORT vowels are longer in nonfinal position. The latter is surprising given the well-documented phenomenon of phrase final lengthening (see Selkirk 1984).
