本论文旨在分析威尔士语的两种语言特征，语码转换和突变，作为社会语言学变量：编码说话者和/或文体意义的社会信息的特征。开发一个研究设计，包括分析代码转换和突变的自然主义的讲话，需要一个相对新颖的方法。该研究结合了对40小时Siarad语料库中两个变量的方言使用的变分分析（Deuchar 2014），以及通过使用频道线索和其他标准对广播节目进行正式排序的技术（Ball et al 1988）。这允许在多种文体背景下使用的代码转换和突变的比较，其中每一个显示不同程度的情感参与和自我监控的扬声器。
分析发现，语码转换与每个广播节目的正式程度密切相关，并且至少有一个吸气突变触发器（a）也以类似的方式形成。其他一些突变触发器，最值得注意的是包括鼻音所有格触发器（fy），似乎主要受到说话者的背景，特别是他们的相对年龄的影响。在每个广播节目中发现的话语类型的定性分析，每个节目的机构风格和他们使用的文体控制的“标记”变量之间的联系，与非标准的变量似乎是团结，颠覆和讽刺的索引，而标准的变量索引声望，权威和认真。
This thesis seeks to analyse two types of linguistic features of Welsh, code-switching and mutation, as sociolinguistic variables: features which encode social information about the speaker and/or stylistic meaning. Developing a study design that incorporates an analysis of code-switching and mutation in naturalistic speech has demanded a relatively novel methodological approach. The study combined a variationist analysis of the vernacular use of both variables in the 40-hour Siarad corpus (Deuchar 2014) with a technique that ranks radio programmes in order of formality through the use of channel cues and other criteria (Ball et al 1988). This allows for a comparison of the use of code-switching and mutation in multiple stylistic contexts, each of which show varying degrees of emotional engagement and self-monitoring by speakers.
The analysis found that code-switching was strongly correlated with the level of formality of each radio programme, and that at least one aspirate mutation trigger, (a), also patterned in a similar way. Some other mutation triggers, most notably including the nasal possessive trigger (fy), seemed to be primarily affected by the speakers’ backgrounds and their relative ages in particular. A qualitative analysis of the type of discourse found in each radio programme made further links between the institutional style of each programme and their use of the stylistically controlled ‘marker’ variables, with non-standard variants appearing to be indexical of solidarity, subversion and irony, while standard variants indexed prestige, authority and earnestness.
