Noticing, identifying and discriminating sociolinguistic variants in England
This article explores the extent to which listeners vary in their ability to notice, identify and discriminate variable linguistic features. With a view to improving speaker evaluation studies (SES), three types of experiments were conducted ( noticing tasks , identification tasks and discrimination tasks ) with regard to variable features using word- or sentence-based stimuli and focusing on three variables and their variants – (ING): [ɪŋ], [ɪn]…
Frequency-Based Professionalism Evaluation of ( ing ) and ( t )-Deletion in England and Pennsylvania
This study investigates the social evaluation of linguistic variation and the cognitive monitoring processes involved. Recognizing the need for cross-regional research that keeps experimental factors constant, we focus on ( ing ) and ( t )-deletion. We investigate frequency evaluation as managed in England, UK ( N = 200), and in Pennsylvania, US ( N = 150). Results for ( ing ) indicate no significant effect of [ɪn]-frequency in England, while in …
Sociolinguistic monitoring and L2 speakers of English
This study contributes to a growing body of research on the social meanings of linguistic variation with particular interest in the cognitive processes governing their emergence. Our research follows in the tradition of Labov et al.’s (2011) work on the sociolinguistic monitor, a cognitive mechanism hypothesized to track quantitative linguistic variation and prompt social evaluations (Labov et al. 2011. Properties of the sociolinguistic monitor. …
