Cockney vowels vs. RP vowels

RP

Articultary changes

Auditory changes

Phonological changes

Reasons

i:

Certain vowels in Cockney differ from RP ones. The difference takes place because of the rule of the economy of articulatory effort.

1.Diphtongisation (slight shifting of the organs of speech posititon within the articulation of jne and the same vowel – these organs are mostly: the tongue, the lips and the lower jaw.diphtongisation changes the quality of the sound during its articulation) takes place according to articultory instability. The broadening of the mouth resonator takes place. As the tongue moves very slow and it might be considered almost unchecked=> relaxation takes place

2/broadening (a passage or large width or length. It can be formed by the lips or the tongue and the palate – it’s front, mid ar back part) takes place accordingaccording according to articultory instability.the broadening of the mouth resonator takes place. As the tongue moves very slow and it might be considered almost unchecked=> relaxation takes place. Fronting and opening take place. The stability of articulation is broaden. [۸] (mid and back - advanced) => [ǽi] (open, front, broad variation) e.g. blood [bl۸d]=> [blǽid]. [ei] (front and mid)=> [ǽi]/[ai] (open, front, broad variation) – opening e.g. lady

3.narrowing(broadening (a passage or large width or length. It can be formed by the lips or the tongue and the palate – it’s front, mid ar back part) takes place. [ǽ] is front, open, broad variation,=> [ei].

[e] is front , open , narrow variation. The stability of articulation is broken.

4.monophtongisation (a monophtong is a sound in the articulation of which it’s necessary to keep up the stability of articulation. And it requires certain articulatory effort) takes place according to articultory stability. (stability of articulation – the state when the shape, volume, and irifice – size of the mouth resonator are stable, according to it English vowels are divided into: monophthongs, diphthongs and diphthongoids). The broadening of the mouth resonator takes place. As the tongue moves very low vertically. The position of the bulk of the tongue doesn’t change during it’s articulation, it doesn’t glide up.

a:

o:

When [o:] is in non – final position, it sounds as [o:], when it’s final – [o:ə]

u:

ə:

i

[i] In word final position sounds as [i:], e.g. city[siti] – [siti:]

e

ǽ

[ǽ] is realized as [ε] or [εi] e.g. bag [bǽg] – [bεg], [bεig]

כ

ə

ei

[ei] is realized as [ǽi] or [ai] e.g. lady [leidi] – [lǽidi:], [laidi:]

ai

Substituting the diphtong /ai/ by/ei/ e.g. the word day is pronounced as [dai]

oi

au

-substituting [au] (a diphtong with front – retracted nucleus [a], which glides to [u](back – advanced)) by /a:/ (back – advanced, open, broad variation of the low position of the tongue, tense, long monophtong), e.g. the word house is pronounced as /ha:s/, now as /na:/

- /ǽə/ now [nau] – [nǽə]

ou

substittuting /ou/ by /o:/ e.g. don’t as /do:nt/ or substituting it by / / in unstressed positions, window /wind/

εə

əu

[əu] sounds as [ǽu] e.g. soaked [seukt] – [sǽukt]

۸

۸ is realised as [ǽi] (more front than in RP) e.g. blood [blǽid]
