In glottal stop you wrote, "In East Anglian varieties, glottal stop realisations of /t/ can be found in word-*initial* position, if the /t/ is a) in an unstressed syllable (so is often found in the words 'to', 'today', 'tomorrow') AND is not in tone group-initial position."

I puzzled by the "a)". Was this intended to be followed by a "b)" or does "a)" mean something in linguistic jargon? Also, what do the asterisks in "word-*initial*" signify? Nurg 04:30, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
