Terry et al.,

Tom Veatch wrote a really interesting dissertation on dialects

of American English a couple years ago and looked at (R) arguing it

was a glide. His email is

tv[AT SYMBOL GOES HERE]sprex.com, or veatch[AT SYMBOL GOES HERE]bhasha.stanford.edu

His diss. was U. Penn 1991, "English Vowels: Their surface phonology

and phonetic implementation in vernacular dialects". (He looked at

data from Corky Feagin's Anniston Ala. study, my Jamaican Creole study

in Kingston, Otto Santa Ana's Chicano English study, and Sherry Ash's

Chicago White English data.)
