About this product

Product Information

This book discusses the phonetic make-up of the teenage speech in the Home Counties in order to verify the status of a putative new variety referred to as Estuary English. The study compares the findings of a field research carried out by the author in the vicinity of London in 1998/1999 with the data from the Survey of English Dialects obtained half a century earlier. The results of the research show that Estuary English should be viewed as a number of distinct accents with some influences of London speech, not a single and definable variety.
