Abstract: This study shows that two distinct social models predict speech rhythm variation -measured by the normalized pairwise variability index of vowels (nPVI-V) -for Stockholm's two working classes. The non-white working-class variety (multiethnolect) has less intervocalic durational contrast than the speech of elites (41-51 vs. 49-57) and correlates with the speaker's neighborhood diversity. Incremental increases in neighborhood diversity correlate with incremental decreases in nPVI-V. The white working-class varie… Show more
