Accents and dialects are undergoing small variations over time. This work presents one of few surveys of this phonological variation and change in urban accents across Great Britain and Ireland. It provides a description of accent features within one or more urban centres, including information on social and stylistic variation and ongoing change.
Bringing together a team of dialectologists, sociolinguists, phoneticians and phonologists, this book presents exciting new data, as well as well-known research on phonological variation and change in urban accents across the British Isles. Each chapter is split in two sections: the first is a detailed description of the social and stylistic variation of a particular accent, the second is a discussion of the implications of this data in broader theoretical terms.
