Sociophonetics

چکیده
Sociophonetics integrates principles, techniques, and theoretical frameworks from phonetics with those from sociolinguistics. Early work under this label typically involved applications of standard phonetic methods – vowel formant analysis, for example – to ‘sociolinguistic’ data, such as socially-differentiated corpora of speech, or to non-standard dialects of widely-spoken languages. In that sense such work lay truly at the intersection of phonetics and sociolinguistics and served to deliver largely incremental gains to the parent fields. (Indeed, much of the work might be pastiched as ‘sociolinguists dabbling in phonetics, and phoneticians dabbling in sociolinguistics’.)

Sociophonetic Variation in Speech Perception
In this paper, I review previous research that investigates sociophonetic variation in speech perception. I also argue that more speech perception work is needed to inform work on variation in speech production, particularly in the areas of language change and stereotype formation. Exploring the mental representations and processing of social and linguistic information as well as treating phone...
متن کاملExploiting Random Intercepts: Two case studies in sociophonetics
An increasing number of sociolinguists are using mixed effects models, models which allow for the inclusion of both fixed and random predicting variables. In most analyses, random effect intercepts are treated as a by-product of the model; they are viewed simply as a way to fit a more accurate model. This paper presents additional uses for random effect intercepts within the context of two case...
متن کاملA sociolinguistic perspective on sociophonetic research
The four papers in this issue of the journal are jointly focused on two distinct themes: sociophonetics—the study of speakers and listeners’ sensitivity to the social context in which language is produced and perceived—and exemplar theory, as a way of explaining this behavior. In these comments, I will try to relate the findings in the first area to the field of sociolinguistics, and then relat...
