苏格兰中央地带的方言,延伸到爱丁堡和格拉斯哥之间,大多数苏格兰人居住在那里,被认为在世纪经历了根本性的变化(例如约翰斯顿1997;麦考利2014)。本章介绍的结果,从正在进行的研究,我们认为是最早的现有录音从格拉斯哥和中央带苏格兰英语,即子集的年轻男子从这方面谁是记录在德国战俘营在第一次世界大战期间由威廉Doegen,现在形成的一部分,大英图书馆的柏林Lautarchiv英国和英联邦录音收藏。印象主义的听觉分析进行了讲话的八个扬声器,特别强调t-声门和rhotics。三个西部中部地带的人,两个来自格拉斯哥,一个来自城外的农村,他们的讲话进一步进行了声学分析的具体特点,特别是重音单元音和/ai/的质量和持续时间,以及单词首字母/l/;声学分析的结果在附随的论文中给出,这里不再进一步讨论(见Stuart-Smith等人,即将出版)。本章有两个目的:在讨论了我们分析录音的材料和方法之后,(第8.2和8.3节),我们首先给出一个非常简短的语音草图,早期苏格兰英语的证明,在这些发言者,更详细的轮廓t-glottalling和实现/r/(第8.4节)。我们的第二个目标(8.5节)是通过关注尾波/r/,来考虑整个世纪实时变化的证据。为了做到这一点,我们比较了新的结果从柏林Lautarchiv扬声器从以前和目前的项目在格拉斯哥和中央带的语音变化和变化的结果。这些结果表明,自20世纪80年代后期以来,在社会语言学调查中观察到的尾/r/的去hoticisation
The vernacular of the Scottish Central Belt, stretching between Edinburgh and Glasgow, where the majority of the Scottish population live, is thought to have undergone radical changes during the course of the twentieth century (eg Johnston 1997; Macaulay 2014). This chapter presents results from an ongoing study of what we believe to be the earliest existing recordings from Glasgow and Central Belt Scottish English, namely the subset of young men from this area who were recorded in German prisoner of war camps during World War I by Wilhelm Doegen, and which now form part of the British Library’s Berliner Lautarchiv British and Commonwealth Recordings collection. Impressionistic auditory analysis was carried out on the speech of eight speakers, with particular emphasis on t-glottalling and rhotics. The speech of three of the western Central Belt men, two speakers from Glasgow and one from the countryside outside the city, was further subjected to acoustic analysis of specific features, particularly the quality and duration of the stressed monophthongs and/ai/, and word-initial/l/; the results of the acoustic analysis are given in an accompanying paper, and are not discussed further here (see Stuart-Smith et al. forthcoming).The chapter has two aims: after discussing the materials and our methods for analysing the recordings (Sections 8.2 and 8.3), we give first a very brief phonetic sketch of early Scottish English as attested in these speakers, with a more detailed outline of t-glottalling and the realisation of/r/(Section 8.4). Our second aim (Section 8.5) is to consider the evidence for real-time change across the century, by focusing on coda/r/. In order to do this, we compare the new results from the Berliner Lautarchiv speakers with findings from previous and current projects on phonological variation and change in Glasgow and the Central Belt. These reveal that the derhoticisation of coda/r/observed in sociolinguistic surveys since the late
