| Title |
Ethnic Patterns in the Phonetics of Montreal English
|
| Abstract |
An examination of the differences in the phonetic realization of vowels by Montrealers of Irish, Italian and Jewish ethnic origins using acoustic analysis. The author points out that the unusual tenacity of ethnophonetic variation in Montreal English is due to the minority status of English-speaking residents, and the social and residential segregation of ethnic groups in distinct neighbourhoods, which limits their exposure to speakers of Standard Canadian English who might otherwise serve as models for assimilation.
