Description

"Applying insights from variationist linguistics to historical change mechanisms in the English consonant system, Daniel Schreier reports findings from a historical corpus-based study on the reduction of various consonant clusters and compares them with similar processes in synchronic varieties. He therefore defines consonantal change as a strictly interdisciplinary phenomenon that involves fields as distinct as psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, phonological theory and contact linguistics."--Jacket.
