Some that consider them a merger: The Kindle's dictionary (The New Oxford American Dictionary, e.g.: “someone” = /ˈsəmˌwən/); dictionary.com (e.g.: suhm-wuhn); and aforementioned CMU, used extensively in applied linguistics. There seems to be an American preference in favor of the merger and a British tradition ("a schwa is never stressed!") in favor of a split… though my question is specifically about American English. | |
