Previous studies have shown that the same sociolinguistic feature can be used as a sociolinguistic resource with different indexical potentials in different linguistic as well as social contexts. In this paper we present the results of a perceptual study of indexical meanings of fronted and palatalized variants of /t/ in combination with fronted /s/ in different registers of Copenhagen Danish. The data consist of responses to male speakers' use of the two variants of /t/ in two different registers that we label "modern Copenhagen speech" and "street language." Results show that the palatalized /t/ affects the indexicality of fronted /s/ with respect to perceived femininity and gayness when it occurs in "modern Copenhagen," where fronted /s/ has previously been shown to index these traits. However, the variation has a different and less significant effect when occurring in "street language." Furthermore, the effect is only found in "modern Copenhagen" if the speaker has not previously been heard to produce a fronted /s/. We discuss the implications for theories of the relation between features and clusters of features in listeners' perceptions
