摘要

地域方言的代表性是在描述地域和民族语言变异时避免本质化的关键。然而,区域元音研究仍然倾向于关注白人占多数的社区。此外,由于对大平原地区研究的缺乏,使得对拉丁英语区域差异的研究不完整。我们研究了一个方言地区的大多数拉丁裔社区,在那里低后元音合并转移(LBMS)很普遍,以检查这种声音转移的参与情况,并记录了大平原地区拉丁语的变化。研究结果表明,所有参与者普遍存在LBMS,但鼻前陷阱/禁令分裂不太明显。后者代表了许多美国拉丁裔社区所证实的一种发声模式。在拉丁裔占多数的地区,盎格鲁人的生产模式与拉丁裔人不同。这些模式说明了区域声音变化的参与,同时也记录了超区域变化和盎格鲁同龄人对拉丁英语变体的本地参与。

A new majority
Representativeness in regional dialectology is critical to avoid essentialization when describing regional and ethnic language variation. Yet, regional vowel studies still tend to focus on majority-white communities. Additionally, lack of research on the Great Plains leaves research on regional variation in Latinx Englishes incomplete. We examine a majority-Latinx community in a dialect region where the Low Back Vowel Merger Shift (LBMS) is widespread to examine participation in this sound shift and to document Latinx variation in the Great Plains. Findings illustrate the widespread presence of the LBMS for all participants, but with a less pronounced prenasal trap/ban split. The latter represents a vocalic pattern attested in numerous US Latinx communities. Anglos from the majority-Latinx field site variably pattern with their Latinx peers in their production of ban. These patterns illustrate participation in regional sound changes while also documenting supra-regional variation and local participation in Latinx English variants by Anglo peers.

期刊介绍: English World-Wide has established itself as the leading and most comprehensive journal dealing with varieties of English. The focus is on scholarly discussions of new findings in the dialectology and sociolinguistics of the English-speaking communities (native and second-language speakers), but general problems of sociolinguistics, creolistics, language planning, multilingualism and modern historical sociolinguistics are included if they have a direct bearing on modern varieties of English. Although teaching problems are normally excluded, English World-Wide provides important background information for all those involved in teaching English throughout the world.
