From ‘preferred’ to ‘peripheral’? A century-long study of linking-r in Standard Southern British English (1920s–2020s)
This paper presents a diachronic trend study of linking-r in non-rhotic Standard Southern British English (SSBE) as a sound change in progress, examining its evolution over an entire 104-year span from the 1920s to the 2020s. The study investigates the changing role of linking-r and glottalization as strategies for resolving hiatus, reflecting broader phonological and sociolinguistic shifts in SSBE. Utilizing a corpus of recorded speech comprisin…
Transcription Systems
Phonetic transcription refers to the process whereby spoken language is represented in written form with the use of phonetic symbols. Various types and subtypes of transcription exist (e.g., phonetic, phonological, phonemic, allophonic, broad, narrow) that can be used depending on the aspects of spoken language being represented or the linguist's aims. Any transcription system is based on the use of a specific system of notation, with the Interna…
Does timing matter
A large body of literature has examined perceptual training, especially using the high variability phonetic training (HVPT) technique, where multiple talkers are included in the training set to help learners develop more accurate additional (second) language (L2) speech sound categories. Yet, most experimental studies focus on relatively short-term gains using a pre-post–delayed design, providing limited insight into longer-term training effects …
Goose -fronting in Received Pronunciation across time
The current study analyzes the trajectory of the goose vowel in Received Pronunciation (RP) over ten decades (1920s-2010s). Recordings of eighty-seven RP speakers were transcribed in ELAN , and vowel tokens were extracted by FAVE , measuring F1 and F2 values at the midpoint. Showing the life-cycle of a sound change from start to (almost) completion, the results confirm that goose -fronting has been an active sound change for many decades in RP, w…
Exploring the Potential of Phonetic Symbols and Keywords as Labels for Perceptual Training
This study investigated the potential of phonetic symbols and keywords as response labels for perceptual training of L2 sounds. Seventy-one Spanish learners of English were assigned to three groups: symbols, keywords, and control. Students in the symbols and keywords groups followed a 4-week High Variability Phonetic Training (HVPT) program based on identification tasks. The target aspects addressed were eight English vowels that tend to be probl…
R/-sandhi in the speech of Queen Elizabeth II
This paper looks at the use of /r/-sandhi in the speech of Queen Elizabeth II. Potential contexts of /r/-sandhi were identified and analysed for the presence or absence of rhoticity and glottalisation in a corpus of Christmas speeches over a period of seven decades. The results show that the Queen avoids intrusive /r/ altogether but that she uses linking /r/ in most potential cases, that glottalisation is common when /r/-sandhi is not used, and t…
Iconicity and systematicity in phonaesthemes
This study aims to find out whether speakers of different language backgrounds (English, French, Spanish, and Macedonian) are sensitive to semantic associations (‘fluid’ and ‘forcible contact’) attached respectively to two purported phonaesthemes (/fl-/ and /tr-/). Participants completed the task in oral and written conditions. They had to match phonaestheme-related definitions with either of two non-words (one phonaestheme-bearing and the other …
R/-liaison in English
This article presents the results of an empirical study on the phenomenon of\n/r/-liaison (i.e., linking /r/ and intrusive /r/) in non-rhotic English from\nthe perspective of usage-based Cognitive Linguistics. The study looks into\nsociolinguistic, phonetic and usage-based factors that condition variability\nin /r/-liaison through the analysis of news archives from the BBC World\nService website (years 2004 and 2005). The paper argues that a thor…
Category overlap and neutralization
This article briefly reviews categorization models in both cognitive psychology and cognitive phonology in order to set the background for a psycholinguistically plausible account of the classification of the allophones involved in category overlaps (i.e., the overlapping areas between phoneme categories) and in the so-called positions of neutralization. In addition, the traditional proposals of both Bloomfieldian phonemics (i.e., phonetic simila…
