摘要

尾音/t/的摩擦变音是一种变体,在这种变体中,肺泡塞音没有完全闭塞,而是通过摩擦产生辅音。来自不列颠群岛和南半球的几种英语中都有“尖利”的/t/。虽然在澳大利亚流行文化中可以找到对变体的认识,但它一直是少数社会语音研究的焦点。在这里,我们报道了一项实验,该实验调查了澳大利亚英语(AusE)使用者对摩擦/t/的社会意义。我们使用了一个在线匹配的伪装范式,在这个范式中,听众被呈现出来自六个扬声器的简短话语,这些话语经过声学处理,只在短语词尾/t/的变体上有所不同。使用一系列滑动量表,100名听众记录了他们对演讲者的印象,包括演讲者的社会身份和好感度。我们假设,澳大利亚语听众会将摩擦音/t/与“城市”和“受过教育”的描述联系起来,而对于三位男性演讲者来说,摩擦音和释放的/t/将与“同性恋”的描述相联系。与第一个假设部分一致,结果显示,与未发布的伪装相比,摩擦伪装的代币被评为受教育程度更高,但这种影响是由一名男性演讲者推动的,他也被评为“异性恋”和“农村”。Guise并没有显著预测农村地区的评分,男性演讲者也没有以任何特定的伪装被评为同性恋。此外,异性恋男性认为最同性恋的男性说话者的口音与自己的口音最不相似,这与同性恋男性或女性和其他人不同。有人认为,与摩擦/t/相关的发音将其置于指向教育的指数领域内,但其效果受到其他指标或标记的调节。

Australian English speakers’ attitudes to fricated coda /t/
ABSTRACT The fricated allophone of coda /t/ is a variant in which full occlusion of the alveolar stop is not achieved, resulting in the consonant instead being produced via frication. Fricated /t/ is attested in several varieties of English from the British Isles and Southern Hemisphere. While awareness of the variant can be found in Australian popular culture, it has been the focus of few sociophonetic studies. Here we report on an experiment which investigated the social meanings that Australian English (AusE) speakers ascribe to fricated /t/. We used an online matched guise paradigm in which listeners were presented with short utterances from six speakers that had been acoustically manipulated to differ only in the variant of phrase-final /t/. Using a series of sliding scales, 100 listeners recorded their impressions of the speakers, both in terms of the speakers’ social identity and favourability. We hypothesized that AusE listeners would associate fricated /t/ with the descriptors ‘urban’ and ‘educated’, and that, for the three male speakers, fricated and released /t/ would be associated with the description ‘gay’. Partially consistent with the first hypothesis, results revealed that tokens were rated significantly more educated in the fricated guise than the unreleased guise, but this effect was driven by one male speaker who was also rated ‘straight’ and ‘rural’. Guise did not significantly predict ratings of ruralness, nor were male speakers rated significantly more gay in any specific guise. Additionally, straight males rated the accent of the gayest rated male speaker least like their own, unlike gay males or females and others. It is posited that the articulation associated with fricated /t/ situates it within an indexical field pointing to education, but that the effect of this is modulated by the presence of other indicators or markers.
