SUMMARY:A tale of one city: A sociophonetic study of 100+ years of Glasweg

DESCRIPTION:Sociophonetic research unites the social and the phonetic in t
 erms of theory\, method and practice\n(e.g. Foulkes and Docherty 2006\; Fo
 ulkes 2010). Insights can be gained from placing phonetic and\nphonologica
 l findings within their social context. Recent advances in phonetic method
 s can enhance\nour descriptions and understanding of speech in practice. T
 his talk illustrates the rewards of doing\nsociophonetic research by consi
 dering a case study which takes a particular sociological context\,\nGlasg
 ow\, a large industrial city over the 20th century\, and examines phonolog
 ical variation and\nchange over the same period in its vernacular dialect 
 (Stuart-Smith et al in press 2017\; Stuart-Smith\net al in press 2017\; So
 unds of the City). Specifically I will present findings from novel phoneti
 c\ninvestigation into three areas of the consonantal system\, coda /r l/ (
 cf Stuart-Smith et al 2015)\,\nfricatives /s ʃ/ (cf Stuart-Smith 2007)\, 
 and the stop voicing contrast /b d t d k g/ (cf Stuart-Smith et al\n2015).
  The results demonstrate how sound changes are linked with the changing so
 cial context in\nwhich they occur for this speech community over time. The
 y also show how the inclusion of social\ninformation can enhance our under
 standing of phonetic and phonological processes more generally.\n\nReferen
