Oct 11, 2021 at 15:41 comment added Mauro Thanks, I'll check it; what's a "syllabeme dialect"? I tried googling it, but while I found several Japanese dialects which are syllabeme, I didn't found a definition of the term.

Oct 10, 2021 at 16:37 comment added Mauro Ok, thanks; I think in 場合 I'm hearing the pitch accent, since after listening to them some more times I'd say it's not a pause, but rather a "strengthening" (not sure what's the proper term), that I hear like two vowels.
Oct 10, 2021 at 15:58 comment added naruto @Mauro They sound different to me because there's a difference in pitch accent (おばあさん【LHLLL】; ばあい【LHH】), but I think neither has a "pause". ばあ in 場合 and バーベキュー【LHHLLL】 sound identical to me.
Oct 10, 2021 at 15:51 comment added Mauro I was reading your reply in the first question you linked, and I was wondering: since «so-called "long vowels" are fundamentally two separate sounds in native speakers' minds», do words like お婆さん and 場合 sound different to native speakers? I'm asking because to my non-native ear they do sound different: I hear the first as /oba:san/ (forvo.com/word/%E3%81%8A%E5%A9%86%E3%81%95%E3%82%93/#ja), a single long A sound without pause, while the second as /baai/ (forvo.com/word/%E5%A0%B4%E5%90%88/#ja), with two distinct A sounds, like with a small pause between them.
