The role of African Americans in Philadelphia sound change

A number of studies of African American communities show a tendency to approximate the phonological patterns of the surrounding mainstream white community. An analysis of the vowel systems of 36 African American speakers in the Philadelphia Neighborhood Corpus compares their development over the 20th century with that of the mainstream community. For vowels involved in change in the white community, African Americans show very different patterns, often moving in opposite directions. The traditional split of short-a words into tense and lax categories is a more fine-grained measure of dialect relations. The degree of participation by African Americans is described by measures of bimodality, which are applied as well to the innovative nasal short-a system. The prototypical African American speakers show no bimodality in either measure, recombining the traditional tense and lax categories into a single short-a in lower mid, nonperipheral position. The lack of relation between the two short-a systems is related to the high degree of residential segregation, in that linguistic contact is largely diffusion among adults rather than the faithful transmission found among children.

Analisis sistem vokal dari 36 pembicara Afrika Amerika di Philadelphia Neighborhood Corpus membandingkan perkembangan mereka selama abad ke-20 dengan masyarakat arus utama. Untuk vokal yang terlibat dalam perubahan masyarakat kulit putih, Afrika Amerika menunjukkan pola yang sangat berbeda, sering bergerak berlawanan arah. Perpecahan tradisional pendek sebuah kata dalam kategori tegang dan lemah adalah ukuran lebih halus dari hubungan dialek. Tingkat partisipasi Afrika Amerika digambarkan oleh langkah-langkah dari bimodality, yang diterapkan juga untuk inovatif hidung pendek sistem. Speaker Afrika Amerika prototipe tidak menunjukkan bimodality dalam ukuran baik, mengkombinasikan kategori tegang dan lemah tradisional menjadi pendek-satu pada pertengahan rendah, posisi nonperipheral. Kurangnya hubungan antara dua pendek sistem terkait dengan tingkat tinggi segregasi perumahan, di bahwa kontak linguistik sebagian besar difusi antara orang dewasa daripada transmisi yang setia ditemukan di antara anak-anak.
