Abstract:

Uses corpus data to investigate variation and change in contemporary varieties
of spoken English

*Examines spoken varieties of English in Manchester, Lancashire, Yorkshire,
Scotland, Ireland, New Zealand and the USA

*Examines English in comparison to French, Polish and Japanese

*Draws on data from the PAC Lancashire, Boston, Manchester, Michigan and
Dunedin corpora, the IDEA corpus and the Greater Poland Speech Corpus

*Brings together an international range of contributors in various fields of
phonological research from the UK, France, Poland, Norway and Japan 

*Includes over 100 tables and figures to clearly demonstrate key concepts,
data and ideas

Placing contemporary spoken English at the centre of phonological research,
this book tackles the issue of language variation and change through a range
of methodological and theoretical approaches. In doing so the book bridges
traditionally separate fields such as experimental phonetics, theoretical
phonology, language acquisition and sociolinguistics. Made up of 12 chapters,
it explores a substantial range of linguistic phenomena. It covers auditory,
acoustic and articulatory phonetics, second language pronunciation and
perception, sociophonetics, cross-linguistic comparison of vowel reduction and
methodological issues in the construction of phonological corpora. The book
presents new data and analyses which demonstrate what phonologists,
phoneticians and sociolinguists do with their corpora and show how various
theoretical and experimental questions can be explored in light of authentic
spoken data.
