Phonological Change and the Development of an Urban Dialect in Illinois

Callary, Robert E.

Language in Society, 4, 2, 155-169, Aug 75

Raised, nasalized variants of /ae/ in such words as hat and back in the speech of many Illinoisans are found to correlate with the size of the community in which the speaker was raised. Generally, the higher the variants, the more urban the speaker was raised. (Author/RM)
