Speech, writing and boxsets
This article is an attempt to explain an observable change in present-day English in terms of quite disparate influences. Since the change is not yet complete, it is a messy conspiracy of these influences. By studying life-time changes of this sort we may gain insights into how well-understood historical changes work. The change under discussion is most noticeable in the written form, but its trigger has been the phonetic realizations of the form…
Some auditory and acoustic observations on the phonetics of [ATR] harmony in a speaker of a dialect of Kalenjin
Conventional treatments of vowel harmony processes routinely make two important assumptions: first, only vowels are implicated in the harmonic process and second, the phonologically relevant harmony features have a transparent (intrinsic) phonetic interpretation (IPI). Consonants are typically treated only insofar as they interfere with such harmony (van der Hulst & van der Weijer 1995 provide a concise overview of harmony processes and their int…
Phonological translation and phonetic repertoire
This paper demonstrates some of the limits of the translation of sound effects in poetry from a purely linguistic point of view, as opposed to a literary critical one. Three examples of poetry were recorded in the original language and transcribed phonetically, as were English translations of the same works. These are compared for evidence of transfer of original sound features and of the extent to which equivalent features in the target versions…
A declarative treatment of the phonetics and phonology of German rhymal /r
Domains of assimilation
Assimilation phenomena involving lexical alveolars and velars are examined in a Stockport accent. It is suggested that the segment is too narrow a domain of investigation for clues to the differentiation of pairs such as leg kept and lead kept . The vowels either side of the consonantal sequence are involved in any kind of assimilation process that takes place, in many cases producing slight differences in dorsal contact between the alveolars and…
Some handy notes on phonology
J. A. Goldsmith (ed.), The handbook of phonological theory . Cambridge, MA & Oxford: Blackwell, 1995. Pp. xiv + 986. To assess a book of nearly a thousand pages with thirty-two contributions is something of a tall order, if not an impossible task, if one wants to do justice to all of it. For this reason, I have chosen to approach it from my own standpoint on phonology and see to what extent the issues I see as crucial to the current vigorous deba…

Underspecification, polysystemicity, and nonsegmental representations in phonology
This paper presents an analysis of the phonological system of Malay that does not assume the segmental phoneme as its base. The analysis also follows the tradition of J. R. Firth in that it establishes different systems at different points in the syllable. The lowest level at which segmentation is allowed is that of syllable places, Cs and Vs. Prosodic features are measured in terms of Cs and Vs, the feature array being separated into different l…
Assimilation, deletion paths and underspecification
The purpose of this article is to demonstrate that underspecification of lexical-entry forms enables us to restrict phonological theory to declarative statements about the structure of lexical items, and to avoid having recourse to feature-changing and deletion rules. The realizations of lexical items are mapped onto their underlying forms by means of filling-in, redundancy rules of two basic types, predictive and default. Predictive rules derive…
Allegro rules in colloquial Thai
As part of an investigation into rapid speech and its rule-based processes, I want to present an analysis of colloquial spoken Thai and show how different tempi can be related to one another. I also want to see whether the processes displayed by colloquial Thai fit into the general picture of phonological processes which has emerged over the past 15 years or so (roughly Stampe, 1969, onwards) within different theoretical frameworks. In particular…

The use of the past tense in games of pretend
This note is concerned with the way in which children use tense to distinguish between different realities in games of pretend. I shall attempt to relate this phenomenon to a general feature of English grammar and suggest a social interpretation of this feature as well. My data are based on observation of my daughter and her friends engaged in pretend-games over the past five years. At the time of writing she is ten, and I noted the linguistic fe…

A Stockport teenager
The present article is a preliminary analysis and detailed phonetic description of a taped conversation (between friends) as an example of the everyday linguistic habits of a teenager from Stockport. When the recording was made, she was sixteen years old (August 1975); she is the granddaughter of the main informant for Lodge (1966). She attended a comprehensive school in Stockport. As an example of a more formal style the informant was asked to r…
Stockport revisited
1. In Lodge (1966), the data presented for the dialect of Stockport, Cheshire, did not show up the possible contrastive opposition in the vowels mentioned by Wells (1970: 238; in Wells' transcription, /e/: /ε̌/). It concerns the reflexes of ME ā, as in name, and ME e + gh (= voiceless palatal or velar fricative), as in eight, which have fallen together in RP. In the North of England, however, including part of the N.W. Midlands, the retension of …
