Sociophonetics is one of the sub-branches of the discipline that
has attracted a great deal of attention over the last decade.
Recent advances in speech science and their technological
simulations allow increasingly sophisticated studies of the
progress of language contact and change. These studies,
particularly those at the level of pronunciation, show that
language variety is robust and socially embedded in interesting
ways. Instrumental studies of language variety contact and change
have focused on the role of social categories and attitudes in
variety perception as well as production. Some of the studies
presented in this volume look at the specific role of social
factors in the formation, progress, and deterrence of intralingual
contact and change; while others look at the ways in which social
identities and beliefs influence a listener's ability to identify
and comprehend varieties. These studies use detailed acoustic
analyses of production speech data and of responses to samples of
data based on such analyses. Although the book assumes some
knowledge of basic acoustics and variationist studies, the general
introduction provides a review of practices in the field, including
those of collection, analysis, and interpretation.
