本文对美国英语中的地区性语音和词汇变异进行了统计比较。首先对语音数据集和词汇数据集进行了独立的多变量空间分析，以确定这两个数据集中最常见的空间聚集维度。两种分析方法提取的语音变异和词汇变异的维度在一组共同的参照点上内插后相互关联，以衡量美国英语中区域语音和词汇变异的相似性。这一分析表明，现代美国英语中的地区性语音和词汇变异具有显著的相似性。
This paper presents a statistical comparison of regional phonetic and lexical variation in American English. Both the phonetic and lexical datasets were first subjected to separate multivariate spatial analyses in order to identify the most common dimensions of spatial clustering in these two datasets. The dimensions of phonetic and lexical variation extracted by these two analyses were then correlated with each other, after being interpolated over a shared set of reference locations, in order to measure the similarity of regional phonetic and lexical variation in American English. This analysis shows that regional phonetic and lexical variation are remarkably similar in Modern American English.
