British urban accents are undergoing rapid and extensive changes. This CD-ROM surveys the modern state of accents in Britain, examining in detail 15 British accents from around Britain and introducing issues in theoretical sociolinguistics and descriptive dialectology. Work indicates that many of these ongoing changes span wide geographical areas.;A full overview of theoretical and methodological issues at the forefront of sociolinguistics is provided and, at the same time, a detailed comparative survey of variation and change in the phonology and phonetics of English is offered. Individual chapters, written by researchers carrying out key studies of major accents, focus on a single urban area and a principal academic theme.
