Title: | Identification of Language Varieties: The Contribution of Different Linguistic Levels | Contributor(s): | van Bezooijen, Renée (author); Gooskens, Charlotte (author) | Publication Date: | 1999-03-01 | DOI: | 10.1177/0261927X99018001003 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/30129 | Abstract: | Three experiments are described investigating the role of different linguistic levels in the identification of language varieties. The results reveal that prosodic features play a minor role in the identification of language varieties, both in the United Kingdom and in the Netherlands. The role of pronunciation varies. In some cases, pronunciation alone leads to better identification than cues at all linguistic levels, including pronunciation. Further research is needed to gain insight into the precise nature of the processes underlying the identification of language varieties. Also, the role of identification of language varieties in relation to vocal stereotypes in the attribution of personality characteristics to speakers should be further investigated. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Journal of Language and Social Psychology, 18(1), p. 31-48 | Publisher: | Sage Publications, Inc | Place of Publication: | United States of America | ISSN: | 1552-6526 0261-927X |
