- Inhalt
- This workshop is concerned with different aspects of phonological and phonetic variation in English world-wide. Each session will set out from a general survey of selected accents of English and a discussion of exemplary studies and research papers. The following questions and themes are explored:
1. Variable accent-features: While essentially all sounds can (and do) vary, we will try to identify the most interesting candidates. The focus will mostly be on segments (vowels and consonants), to a lesser extent also on prosodic characteristics.
2. Patterns of variation: We will inspect social factors like age, gender and style, which can help to account for certain patterns of variation that are found within accents. Furthermore, in certain varieties contact and mutual influence between English and native languages or contact between different varieties of English may play a role.
3. Research methods: We will explore ways of analysing phonetic and phonological variation and presenting results. This aspect comprises auditory analysis (i.e. analysis of sounds by ear), acoustic analysis (i.e. measuring and quantifying certain acoustic parameters in the speech signal), and the visualisation of results in tables and plots.
Bringing all of the above together, this workshop aims to raise awareness of the variable pronunciation of English and the patterns it follows, discuss methodological issues, and provide some practical skills. The exact focus of the class will partly depend on the specific interests and backgrounds of participants. Suggestions are therefore not only welcome but expressly invited.
