This paper adds to this growing topic by analyzing the English idiolect change of Giada De Laurentiis, a heritage speaker of Italian. The study analyzes De Laurentiis’ LOT, START, and GOAT vowels, as well as the voice onset time (VOT) of voiceless stops [k] and [p] by measuring the utterances of the code-switched word ‘mascarpone’ across 20 seasons on television. The data reflect the influence of L2 US English (rhoticity, diphthongization, lengthened VOTs) on heritage Italian in De Laurentiis’ idiolect.

The results suggest African-American females are more likely to experience colorism in professional traits while African-American males are more likely to experience colorism in social traits.

It shows that African-American speakers hyperarticulated and articulated /t,d/ more frequently than the white speaker, who hypo-articulated and glottalized /t,d/ consistently, especially on words like God, Lord, and Christ. These results suggest that the highly formal context required African-American speakers to perform /t,d/ to index themselves as authorities to an unfamiliar, white audience, while the white speaker did not consider race to influence listeners’ judgements of him, allowing him to index familiarity and trustworthiness.

Previous studies have compared regional varieties of BSL in eight different UK cities examining the number signs one to twenty, but none so far have explored the deaf community in Leeds. The work presented here is therefore the first to address this area. Overall, age is concluded to be a strong predictor of variation. Younger signers were found to use significantly fewer traditional signs that are regionally distinct to BSL in Leeds than the older generation of signers. This may be seen as evidence of dialect levelling. This research suggests that lexical change in BSL is taking place and also presents the first documentation of Leeds specific variants, some of which have not been documented in the current BSL literature.","PeriodicalId":222182,"journal":{"name":"Lifespans and Styles","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115361466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
