Language-specific and individual variation in anticipatory nasal coarticulation
Anticipatory nasal coarticulation is studied in American English, Northern Metropolitan French and Standard German. • Anticipatory nasality is most extensive in English, possibly due to the pre-nasal vowel acting as source of coarticulation. • In German and French, coarticulatory nasality covers on average 80-90% of the pre-nasal vowel. • German is most variable, consistent with a lack of phonological control of vowel nasality in this language. •…
T‐tapping in Standard Southern British English
Social class is one of the key axes of sociolinguistic variation, but the speech of those at the top of the class spectrum—the elite—is rarely studied. While T‐glottalling has spread widely across British English accents, a competing variant—T‐tapping—has attracted little scholarly attention in the United Kingdom. This article presents a study of elite speech by examining sociolinguistic variation in T‐tapping among adolescent speakers of Standar…
Speaker Gender and Salience in Sociolinguistic Speech Perception
Listeners’ perceptions of sound changes may be influenced by priming them with social information about the speaker. It is not clear, however, whether this occurs for sociolinguistic variables that pass below the level of awareness. This article investigates whether visual speaker gender affects the perception of goose-fronting in Standard Southern British English, a sound change that is led by young women yet does not fulfil criteria for socioli…
Perceptions of T-glottalling among adolescents in South East England
Sociolinguistic research has established that glottal realisations of the voiceless alveolar stop /t/ have become increasingly common in accents of British English. The phenomenon, known as T-glottalling, encompasses the production of word-final and word-medial /t/ using glottal articulations, including creaky voice, pre-glottalisation [ʔt] and glottal replacement [ʔ] (Straw & Patrick, 2007), so that words such as but [bʌt] and butter [bʌtə] may …
