Incipient vowel splits in Standard Scottish English
Standard Scottish English (SSE) traditionally lacks the pandialectal English contrast between paired tense and lax vowels in three instances, resulting in homophones like (1) palm - Pam , (2) caught-cot and (3) pool-pull , from the lexical sets palm / bath / trap , thought / lot and goose / foot , respectively. Individual speakers may differentiate between paired vowels, and it has been proposed that (2) above implies (1), and (3) implies both (2…
The morpho-syntax of Standard Scottish English
With empirical research on Standard Scottish English showing a bias towards phonology, the aim of the current study is to contribute to the morpho-syntactic documentation of this variety. Relying on Standard Southern British English for comparison, we concentrate on four eWAVE features on which the varieties have been noted to diverge: (i) youse as a second person plural pronoun, (ii) extended uses of the progressive, (iii) epistemic mustn’t , an…
Investigating rhoticity in Scottish Standard English with sociolinguistic interviews and corpus data
This paper approaches variable rhoticity in Scottish Standard English (SSE) from a methodological, data‐oriented perspective. The main focus is on how to integrate within a single sociolinguistic framework data that have been elicited under different conditions (sociolinguistic interviews vs. corpus data) and may therefore be incompatible when we take a relatively simplistic approach to stylistic variation. The article first models variation in s…
The complexity principle and the morphosyntactic alternation between case affixes and postpositions in Estonian
This paper investigates three morphosyntactic alternations in Estonian – those between the exterior locative cases allative, adessive and ablative and the corresponding postpositions peale ‘onto’, peal ‘on’ and pealt ‘off’. Based on the Complexity Principle (e.g., Rohdenburg, Günter. 2002. Processing complexity and the variable use of prepositions in English. In Hubert Cuyckens & Günter Radden (eds.), Perspectives on prepositions , 79–100. Tübing…
Modal verbs of strong obligation in Scottish Standard English
This article investigates differences between Scottish Standard English (SSE) and Southern British Standard English (SBSE) in the semantic domain of strong obligation. Focusing on the modal verbs must , have to , need to and (have) got to , we use new corpus material from nineteen written and spoken genres in the Scottish component of the International Corpus of English (ICE-SCO) and corresponding texts from ICE-GB. Data are analysed using a mixe…
Nurse Vowels in Scottish Standard English
While nearly all dialects on the British Isles have undergone the nurse merger, a process which merged the Middle English vowels /ɪ ɛ ʊ/ into the vowel /ə/ (which was later lengthened to /ɜ:/) in pre-rhotic positions, Scottish Standard English (SSE) is traditionally described as having retained a three-way distinction in these contexts. However, the gradual loss of this contrast has been observed in some varieties of Scottish English. This study …
Frequency changes and stylistic levelling of though in diachronic and synchronic varieties of English – linguistic democratisation
Although-constructions in varieties of English
Focusing on subordinate clauses of concession introduced byalthough, this paper investigates the systematic variation of clause position by inspecting three language-internal factors (or constraints) and their stability across different varieties of the language. The three constraints are based on production (with speech making final placement more likely, due to reduced planning load), processing (with a general preference of final position), an…
Charting vowel spaces in Edinburgh middle-class speech
In this paper a partly novel combination of auditory transformation and vowel-extrinsic normalisation is applied to acoustic vowel data from six Edinburgh middle-class speakers. It is shown that the vowel plots thus produced correspond rather well to articulatory and impressionistic descriptions found in the literature. Furthermore, the relatively small variability found between the speakers in a number of vowel features suggests that a typical m…
