Abstract:

This study investigates innovative sound sequences in Japanese. A relatively large number of phonological changes have occurred in the short period of time since WWII, mainly due to an influx of loanwords from English. However, innovative sound sequences have not been accepted in Japanese uniformly. This fact raises two questions. Why are some innovative sound sequences fully accepted in Japanese while others are still foreignisms? Why are certain sound sequences acceptable in one situation, but not so in others?Previous studies on innovative sound sequences in modern standard Japanese have tr

Abstract:

This study investigates accent variation in the speech of three generations of two Kuwaiti ethnic groups: Najdis (originally from Saudi Arabia) and Ajamis (originally from Iran). The ethnic groups were chosen due to their varying social status: the Najdis have held a prestigious status in Kuwait for historical reasons, while Ajamis have held the least prestigious status on the social scale. The two groups have over the years gradually come into contact with each other, and this study explores the outcome of dialect contact by focusing on a set of phonological variables which traditionally had

Abstract:

Children with protracted phonological development (PPD) require an assessment that reflects factors associated with their speech delay, in order to formulate maximally effective intervention goals. This study examined issues relating to the assessment and classification of children with PPD, as having a perceptual or motoric basis, and factors or patterns of performance that might be predictive of severity or change in PPD. Thirteen English-speaking preschool children (4;0 to 5;6) with moderate to severe PPD participated in this study. All children had normal oral structures, hearing and vocab

Abstract:

The subject of this thesis is the French language in the Franco-Belgian borderland. More specifically, it investigates language, linguistic perceptions and language attitudes in the French-speaking part of Belgium which borders France. The study takes a variationist approach and is grounded in sociolinguistic theory, but it also draws on theories and methodologies from elsewhere in the social sciences. Two questions are at the heart of this study: how do people speak French in the Belgian borderland and why do they speak that way? To answer the research questions, speech and questionnaire data

Abstract:

This thesis is a survey of phonological and lexical changes that have occurred in the dialects of east Devon and west Somerset (eD/wSo) during the second half of the twentieth century. The survey uses data recorded by the present author from three separate generations of informants between 1993 and 1995 to construct a detailed account of the phonological systems and non-standard lexicon of the eD/wSo dialects as they exist today, and compares these data with those recorded from the eD/wSo area by the <I>Survey of English Dialects </I>between 1948 and 1961.

This thesis is an articulatory investigation into phonological variation and change in English /l/-darkening. Although syllable-based accounts of /l/-darkening state that light [l] occurs in onsets (e.g. `leap') and a dark variant in codas (e.g. `peel'), numerous works linking phonology with other subfields of linguistics have shown that this simplified distinction cannot fully account for the variation found. Firstly, /l/-darkening is sensitive to morphosyntactic structure, as shown through overapplication of the process in certain morphosyntactically defined positions: e.g. word-finally in p

Abstract:

The framework of the present PhD dissertation is the area that results from the overlap between the field of variationist sociolinguistics and forensic linguistics, which mainly concerns the study of variation between different individuals –inter-speaker variation– and variation within a single individual –intra-speaker variation– for forensic purposes. The primary objective of the present dissertation is twofold. On the one hand, it proposes a protocol for the creation of an Index of Idiolectal Similitude (IIS) for the phonological module of English that can effectively determine whether two

Ces facteurs peuvent se combiner et, au cours du temps, influencer l’évolution des langues. Dans la première partie de cette thèse, nous nous concentrons sur le processus

Abstract:

Within the individual, one possible cause of sound change in a given language is the acquisition of another language. In recent years, there has been a shift in studies of bilingualism, as linguists have started to investigate not only the influence of a first language (L1) on a second language (L2), but also the impact of L2 on L1. Following the Speech Learning Model (Flege 1987), changes in the L1 production of bilinguals would happen at the level of individual phonemes, so that some sounds may become more similar to L2 equivalents, while others become more dissimilar.

This thesis investigates the consequences of iconicity—a motivated mapping between form and meaning—for the phonological and semantic development of iconic words, through the lens of dialectal variation in the forms and meanings of ideophones in Japonic (Japanese, Ryukyuan). I use the term ideophone to refer to a lexical class of iconic words dedicated to the depiction of sensory phenomena. In Japanese, this class numbers well into the thousands, and includes ideophones mimicking sound (onomatopoeia), e.g. kokekkokoo 'cock-a-doodle-doo', as well as ideophones depicting movement (buruburu ‘wobb

This diachronic study tracks Louisiana French syllable structure and sound patterns over several decades, offering an in-depth, quantitative evaluation of language death and hybridization. Most scholarly inquiry involving this severely endangered language has revolved around morphosyntactic issues. The present work instead considers how a century of contact with English may be influencing Louisiana French phonology. Recordings made in 1977 and 2010 provide speech data from 19 male and 17 female native speakers born between 1888 and 1953. All speakers come from the same town, and none read or w
