checked and free vowels
In phonetics and phonology, checked vowels are those that usually must be followed by a consonant in a stressed syllable. Free vowels are those that commonly stand in a stressed syllable with no following consonant.
==Usage==
The terms ''checked vowel'' and ''free vowel'' originated in English phonetics and phonology. They are seldom used for the description of other languages even though a distinction between vowels that usually have to be followed by a consonant and other vowels is common in most Germanic languages.
The terms ''checked vowel'' and ''free vowel'' correspond closely to the terms ''lax vowel'' and ''tense vowel'' respectively, but many linguists prefer to use the terms ''checked'' and ''free'', as there is no clearcut phonetic definition of vowel tenseness and because by most attempted definitions of tenderness, and are considered lax even though they behave in American English as free vowels.
''Checked vowels'' is also used to refer to a kind of very short glottalized vowels found in some Zapotecan languages that contrast with laryngealized vowels. The term ''checked vowel'' is also used to refer to a short vowel followed by a glottal stop in Mixe, which has a distinction between two kinds of glottalized syllable nuclei: checked ones, with the glottal stop after a short vowel, and nuclei with rearticulated vowels, a long vowel with a glottal stop in the middle.
