Detail Football versus football: effect of topic on /r/ realization in American and English sports fans   Oleh:  Love, Jessica ; Walker, Abby Jenis: Article from Journal Dalam koleksi: Language And Speech vol. 56 no. 04 (Dec. 2013), page 443-460. Topik: cross-dialectal; identity; style-shifting; topic effects Fulltext: Football versus football.pdf (1.42MB) Isi artikel Can the topic of a conversation, when heavily associated with a particular dialect region, influence how a speaker realizes a linguistic variable? We interviewed fans of English Premier League soccer at a pub in Columbus, Ohio. Nine speakers of British English and eleven speakers of American English were interviewed about their favorite American football and English soccer teams. We present evidence that the soccer fans in this speech community produce variants more consistent with Standard American English when talking about American football than English soccer. Specifically, speakers were overall more /r/-ful (F3 values were lower in rhotic environments) when talking about their favorite American football team. Numeric trends in the data also suggest that exposure to both American and British English, being a fan of both sports, and task may mediate these effects.
