Abstract

Glottalization in English has a rich history of research, most of it focusing on the origin and change in the feature over time. The current study also explores these issues but with the advantage of two samples of speech: one from the 1930s and one from the 1990s. This time depth allows us to see the possible origin of this feature in an isolated rural area and its change over time as the regional demographics change. We present arguments that the phonetic and social factors surrounding glottalization interacted to produce a new form (glottal replacement) with newly evolving social meanings.

什么在四处:佛蒙特州的语言变化和全球化

英语全球化的研究历史悠久，大多数研究都集中在英语全球化的起源和变化上。目前的研究也探讨了这些问题，但有两个语音样本的优势:一个来自20世纪30年代，一个来自20世纪90年代。这种时间深度使我们能够看到这一特征在一个孤立的农村地区的可能起源，以及它随着区域人口结构的变化而随时间的变化。我们提出的论点是，围绕声门化的语音和社会因素相互作用，产生了一种具有新发展的社会意义的新形式(声门替代)。

期刊介绍： American Speech has been one of the foremost publications in its field since its founding in 1925. The journal is concerned principally with the English language in the Western Hemisphere, although articles dealing with English in other parts of the world, the influence of other languages by or on English, and linguistic theory are also published. The journal is not committed to any particular theoretical framework, and issues often contain contributions that appeal to a readership wider than the linguistic studies community. Regular features include a book review section and a “Miscellany” section devoted to brief essays and notes.
