Production and perception of local variants in Liverpool English : change, salience, exemplar priming
|
|
|
|
Abstract:
This study looks at the importance of sociolinguistic salience for the production and perception of four phonological variables of Scouse, the local variety of English spoken in Liverpool. These variables are: happY-tensing, velar nasal plus, the NURSE-SQUARE merger, and lenition of /k/. The volume is built around the hypothesis that salient accent features should be processed and stored differently than non-salient ones, and that this should show in diverging perceptual biases as revealed by social priming experiments. A non-circular investigation of this hypothesis requires an independent measure of salience, which is why the volume starts out with an analysis of naturalistic production data collected in Liverpool. Based on social/stylistic stratification and explicit comments by speakers, the four variables in question are classified according to the established Labovian indicator-marker-stereotype hierarchy and linked to questions of local identity and recent socio-cultural changes in Liverpool. The relative ordering of the four variables from least to most salient is found to be mirrored in perceptual priming: No effect at all is detectable for non-salient happY-tensing, and only a weak one for velar nasal plus. The two stereotypes (NURSE-SQUARE merger and /k/ lenition), on the other hand, both generate robust priming effects. These results indicate that the investigated variables differ measurably not only in their use in production, but also in terms of how central they are to mental sociolinguistic representations of Scouse. Intriguingly, all significant effects in the perception experiment are in the unexpected direction: Subjects who have been led to believe that the speaker is from Liverpool are less likely to perceive variants typical of Liverpool English. While it is seemingly at odds with existing priming research in sociolinguistics, this finding is compatible with previous work in psychology and suggests that a number of requirements have to be met for ‘successful’ exemplar priming. In practice, social priming in sociophonetics might therefore be less important than previously suggested.
