本研究旨在建立与英国英语方言的自动类型学和识别相关的超分段声学线索的清单。利用传统方言学的证据表明，英伦三岛的方言在超音段水平上表现出差异，特别是在节奏方面，我们应用了在语言间目的方面已经成功的程序。这份初步报告的重点是持续特征和元音略读（集中化）。我们表明，凯尔特国家（尤其是爱尔兰）的方言是根据其持续时间特征而被挑选出来的。元音弱化的整体模式揭示了性别差异，而不是方言差异。
This research seeks to establish an inventory of the suprasegmental acoustic cues that are relevant to the automatic typology and identification of the dialects of British English. Using evidence from traditional dialectology suggesting that the dialects of the British Isles exhibit differences at the suprasegmental level – and, in particular, in terms of rhythm – we apply procedures that have been successful for inter-language purposes. This preliminary report focuses on durational features and vowel reduction (centralization). We show that the dialects of the Celtic countries (especially Ireland) are singled out on the basis of their durational features. The overall pattern for vowel reduction reveals a difference across genders, not dialects.
