Читать книгу Levelling and diffusion in the Cumbrian city dialect of Carlisle - Sandra Jansen - Страница 5

This thesis draws on sociophonetic methods. The study provided here describes variation and change processes in Carlisle English. Dialect contact is an important factor in dialect change and this is the starting point for this study. I investigate changes in Carlisle English which are due to dialect contact scenarios, in particular the geolinguistic processes diffusion and levelling.
