表观时间分析表明，泰恩斯面演化井是两个交叉趋势的地点：向上北单元音靠拢，以及向南标准闭合双元音逐渐侵入。这篇文章调查了个体演讲者在他们的一生中参与这些正在进行的面部音韵变化。我们报告了一个小规模的小组样本，由六个演讲者组成，他们分别在1971年和42年后的2013年被录音。该分析通过对社区的纵向民族志分析，以及从社会语言学访谈中收集到的关于说话人的社会人口轨迹和自我表达的见解，探讨了说话人个人语法的稳定性。这篇文章为小组研究的发展做出了贡献，小组研究旨在确定说话者一生中语言可塑性的范围和限制。
Apparent time analysis has revealed that the Tynesidefacevowel is the site of two intersecting trends: levelling towards the supra‐northern monophthong as well as the gradual incursion of the southern standard closing diphthong. This article investigates the participation of individual speakers across their life‐span in these ongoing changes in thefacevowel. We report on a small‐scale panel sample of six speakers who were recorded in 1971 and again, 42 years later, in 2013. The analysis probes the stability of individual speakers’ grammars, relying on longitudinal ethnographic analysis in the community as well as insights gleaned from sociolinguistic interviews about the speakers’ socio‐demographic trajectory and their presentations of self. The article contributes to the growing body of panel research that aims to determine the scope and the limits of linguistic malleability across speakers’ life histories.
