Occupational Prestige and Consonant Cluster Simplification in Bangkok Thai

Beebe, Leslie

Linguistics, 165, 43-61, Dec 1 75

Data is presented in support of the thesis that the sounds of Bangkok Thai can only be accurately described with a variation model. Consonant clusters were chosen to support this contention. It is asserted that Standard Thai cannot be equated with the actual speech of any specific group. (Author/RM)
