		In exolabial rounding, the lips are thrust forward to form a tunnel, as when kissing; the inner surface of the lips is exposed.

	SingaporeMoms - Parenting Encyclopedia - Cot-caught merger
		In linguistics, the cot-caught merger (also known as the low back merger) is a phonemic merger, a sound change, that occurs in some varieties of North American English.
		The sound change causes the vowel in words like cot, rock, and doll to be pronounced the same as the vowel in the words caught, talk, law, and small, so that for example cot and caught become homophones, and the two vowel classes become merged as a single phoneme.
		The precise phonetic value of the merged vowel varies from region to region, as do the phonetic values of the unmerged vowel in regions where the merger has not occurred.

		And so in the case of unaccented short vowels that are hurried over between the accents in talking, they are disguised and lose quality, but in good speakers a trace of the original sound will remain (as in _parasite_ and _obloquy_), where, on the ground of indistinctness, Mr.
		Jones first substituted it for a disguised unaccented vowel, was that the speaker might know what sound he had to produce.

	Vowel Space (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The method usually used is to set up an imaginary "vowel space" and define vowels by their position in the space.
		This enables us to talk of high (or close), low (or open) back or front vowels.
		Another feature of vowels is ROUNDING: in English, front vowels are unrounded, i.e the lips are spread (FLEECE, DRESS, TRAP etc.) while back vowels tend to have rounded lips (GOOSE, THOUGHT etc.) In other languages, front vowels can be rounded and back vowels unrounded.
