Document Details : Title: Ordered Rules and the Diffusion of Innovations Subtitle: A Generative Approach to the Phonological Geography of Surrey, Kent, and Sussex Author(s): NORTH, David Journal: Orbis Volume: 35 Date: 1988-1990 Pages: 147-161 DOI: 10.2143/ORB.35.0.2012831 Abstract : In a relatively small geographical area, such as that to be examined here, phonological differentiation among local varieties often takes place at the level of phonetic realization only. Thus the dialects of Surrey, Kent, and Sussex share a single underlying vowel system, and the local varieties tend to be distinguished by differences in the frequency with a number of allophonic types realize each phoneme. |
