“…There have been several clear exceptions, such as, for example, Lass (1976), Carr (1991), and Harris (1994), but in general the potential that nonreference accents present to increase our understanding of phonology is underrealized. Most nonreference accents, by comparison, have received little attention, especially in theoretical phonology.…”

Lenition inhibition in Liverpool English

This article integrates aspects of synchronic and diachronic phonological theory with points relevant to the study of a nonreference accent in order to investigate the patterns of consonantal lenition found in the variety of English spoken in Liverpool, England. Points of contact with variationist approaches are addressed, partly because the lenitions are variable processes. An implicational understanding of lenition is developed, thanks to which it is possible to describe the prosodic and melodic environments which inhibit the lenitions. New data from a small corpus investigation into Liverpool English are presented and a theoretical and practical methodology is proposed, which enables the data to be investigated. The descriptive focus is on the segments /t/ and /k/, which are typically realized as affricates or fricatives unless the lenition is inhibited. A notion of`melodic lenition inhibition' is developed to account for some of the inhibitory patterns, whereby the sharing of autosegmental phonological elements gives a segment strength' in certain environments.English Language and Linguistics 5.2: 213±249. # Cambridge University Press 2001

“…The precise inventory of these words is not yet clear, but certain members of the group seem frequently to function as a class in descriptions of English (see, for example Carr, 1991, Docherty et al, 1997 and the references therein). They are monosyllabic function words, with short vowels.…”

“…The phenomenon has been discussed under other names (Carr 1991 calls it 'weakening', for example) and, before Wells, it was described without a specific name (for example, in Hughes & Trudgill 1979), but Wells' discussion is typically seen as its locus classicus.

T-to-R and the Northern Subject Rule: questionnaire-based spatial, social and structural linguistics

Accents and dialects of English and Scots in Britain have been under active investigation for many decades, as reported through the Survey of English Dialects (Orton et al. 1962–71) and the Linguistic Atlas of Scotland (Mather et al. 1975–86), Wells’ three-volume compendium (1982), and a host of detailed studies of individual varieties. There are also welcome recent signs of the reintegration of variation data into theoretical discussion (see Henry 2002, Cornips & Corrigan 2005a and Trousdale & Adger 2007 for morphosyntax, as well as Anttila 2002 and Coetzee & Pater 2011 for phonology). Nonetheless, the precise structural, geolinguistic and sociolinguistic patterning of many features of vernacular Englishes in the UK is still largely unknown.
