Report on assignment 4 Particular variables: reversing several several variables particularly NG Coalescence also others e.g. FOOT-GOOSE and FOOT-STRUT - spoilt calculations
33
Particular variables:
Report on assignment 4 Particular variables: FOOT-GOOSE not an innovation? FOOT-STRUT in Scotland may not be an innovation either.
34
Particular variables:
Report on assignment 4 Particular variables: SW no Diphth Shift - difficulties with Diphth Shift FOOT-GOOSE marked -/+ in the Northeast use of schwa for STRUT in Wales (one answer) R-Dropping negative in Northeast. Northumbrian burr
35
Report on assignment 4 Reasons “It is most likely that the areas that have the highest number of innovative forms do so because they have been highly influenced by other languages.” French influence. London a melting-point for foreigners and Brits from all over.
36
Report on assignment 4 Reasons Immigrants… When did they appear in any numbers? What of the variables we are discussing could be attributed to foreign influence? Not clear that any of the variables concerned could be attributed to French influence ….H-Dropping?? – What percentage of the population spoke French? French influence in vocabulary
37
The Norse influence in the Middle Ages (before the French):
Report on assignment 4 Reasons The Norse influence in the Middle Ages (before the French): Clear grammatical influence But we are talking of the accents of Standard English, which has the same grammar everywhere … A Norse-English creole??? … to be continued
38
Report on assignment 4 Reasons Conditions for dissemination of innovation: assume random occurrence of innovations but greater probability in denser populations remember the critical size of children’s groups
39
Report on assignment 4 Reasons the socio-linguistic effect must be in the dissemination, not the occurence otherwise notional association of linguistic factors with quality: phonetics, grammar … so the two factors are large population prestige of the new form (group identity. NB prestige works both ways)
