摘要

对变量(ing)的研究突出了其长期稳定性和在英语变体中的共同条件作用。在这里,我们要问的是,随着时间的推移和种族的不同,澳大利亚英语中是否也存在类似的稳定性和条件反射。这些数据来自悉尼演讲项目对204名澳大利亚人的社会语言学采访,这些人根据年龄、性别、社会阶层和种族进行了分层。对13000个(ing)标记的分析显示,肺泡比率非常低,但通常与其他英语变体的条件反射相似,但单词类别除外,其可变性最初主要局限于言语标记,后来扩展到包括代词something和nothing。种族差异在使用率上很明显:意大利裔澳大利亚人的使用率较高,希腊裔和华裔澳大利亚人的使用比率较低,为[n]。这些差异是由阶级归属来解释的,这表明(ing)可能是考虑社会阶级和种族之间相互作用的理想变量。

Stability and change in (ing)
Work on variable (ing) has highlighted its long-term stability and shared conditioning across English varieties. Here, we ask whether similar stability and conditioning holds in Australian English over time and across ethnicity. The data come from sociolinguistic interviews with 204 Australians stratified according to age, gender, social class and ethnicity, drawn from the Sydney Speaks project. Analyses of 13,000 (ing) tokens reveal very low alveolar rates, but generally similar conditioning to that of other English varieties, with the exception of word class, for which variability was initially largely limited to verbal tokens before extending to include the pronouns something and nothing. Ethnic differences are evident in rates of use: Italian Australians evince higher, and Greek and Chinese Australians lower, rates of [n]. These differences are accounted for by class affiliations, suggesting that (ing) may be an ideal variable for considering the interplay between social class and ethnicity.

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.
