It’s a Bit Tricky, Isn’t It?”—An Acoustic Study of Contextual Variation in /ɪ/ in the Conversational Speech of Young People from Perth
This study presents an acoustic analysis of vowel realisations in contexts where, in Australian English, a historical contrast between unstressed /ɪ/ and /ə/ has largely diminished in favour of a central schwa-like variant. The study is motivated by indications that there is greater complexity in this area of vowel variation than has been conventionally set out in the existing literature, and our goal is to shed new light by studying a dataset of…

in Prague.This was the second time that ICPhS has been held in Prague, the first being the 6 th Congress in 1967.The 20 th Congress was chaired by Radek Skarnitzl who was assisted by the Scientific Program Committee (Tom Boril, Katka Chldkov, Jon Podlipsk, and Jan Voln) and a team of
Voice onset time and beyond
we have compiled eleven studies investigating the voicing contrast in 19 languages. The collection provides extensive data obtained from 270 speakers across those languages, examining VOT and other acoustic, aerodynamic and articulatory measures. The languages studied may be divided into four groups: 'aspirating' languages with a two-way contrast (English, three varieties of German); 'true voicing' languages with a two-way contrast (Russian, Turk…
West Wirral
This chapter focuses mainly on the phonetics of the SVLR, which forces us to concentrate on Scottish Standard English, since there are no relevant instrumental studies on Scots, so far as we are aware. It introduces the dialectal background confronting all phonetic SVLR studies. It discusses Aitkens original presentation of the rule. It also discusses the results of three instrumental studies into the SVLR system of Scottish Standard English (SSE…
Urban Voices
Accents and dialects are constantly undergoing small variations over time, but evidence shows that change may have become increasingly rapid in the past few decades. 'Urban Voices' presents one of the few recent surveys of this phonological variation and change in urban accents across Great Britain and Ireland.Each of the specially commissioned chapters is divided into two parts. The first provides a detailed description of accent features within…
The social life of phonetics and phonology
Phonological Variation in Child-Directed Speech
Segmental features of child-directed speech (CDS) were studied in a corpus drawn from thirtynine mothers living in Tyneside, England. Focus was on the phonetic variants used for (t) in word-medial and word-final prevocalic contexts since it is known that these variants display clear sociolinguistic patterning in the adult community. Variant usage in CDS was found to differ markedly from that in interadult speech. Effects were also found with resp…
