This post is to carry out a high-quality research project to conduct 
fundamental research on the role of fine phonetic variation in sound change 
by: helping to develop a real-time corpus of Glaswegian vernacular speech; 
adapting an existing discourse analytical technique for the Glasgow corpus 
for data comparison; contributing to the development of appropriate acoustic 
measures for analysing coda /r/ and /l/; providing and comparing quantitative 
real- and apparent-time accounts of variation and change in Glaswegian over 
the past 40 years on the basis of continuous acoustic phonetic measures for 
both vowels and consonants. The project also aims to contribute more 
generally to theories of cognitive representations of speech over time.

The post is a fixed term contract (April 2011 until September 2014) with a 
defined series of outcomes that is financed by a Leverhulme Trust Research 
Project Grant.
