摘要

本研究考虑了英国英语的两个变体——南部标准英国英语和西约克郡英语的语音质量的区域差异。还考虑了西约克郡三个密切相关但不完全相同的北方品种的语音质量概况的比较。我们的发现与之前的一小部分研究并不矛盾，这些研究探讨了英国英语语音质量的区域性和/或社会差异，因为区域性可能在说话者的语音质量档案中起到很小的作用。然而，社会地位和身份等因素可能更为相关。即使在考虑同质的说话者群体时，也不是说群体中的每个说话者都有一个连贯的音质特征。我们认为，造成这种情况的原因是语音质量中固有的说话者特异性。

Regional variation in British English voice quality

This study considers regional variation of voice quality in two varieties of British English – Southern Standard British English and West Yorkshire English. A comparison of voice quality profiles for three closely related but not identical northern varieties within West Yorkshire is also considered. Our findings do not contradict the small subset of previous research which explored regional and/or social variation in voice quality in British English insofar as regionality may play a small role in a speaker’s voice quality profile. However, factors such as social standing and identity could perhaps be even more relevant. Even when considering homogeneous groups of speakers, it is not the case that there is a cohesive voice quality profile that can be attached to every speaker within the group. The reason for this, we argue, is the speaker-specificity inherent in voice quality.

期刊介绍： English World-Wide has established itself as the leading and most comprehensive journal dealing with varieties of English. The focus is on scholarly discussions of new findings in the dialectology and sociolinguistics of the English-speaking communities (native and second-language speakers), but general problems of sociolinguistics, creolistics, language planning, multilingualism and modern historical sociolinguistics are included if they have a direct bearing on modern varieties of English. Although teaching problems are normally excluded, English World-Wide provides important background information for all those involved in teaching English throughout the world.
