Welsh English intonation and social identity

This paper is a sociophonetic study concerned with state-of-the-art description of Welsh English (WE) pitch patterns which may serve as WE regional and social markers. WE pitch patterns in authentic spontaneous conversations are correlated with social factors of regional and cultural background (North Wales, South Wales, Cardiff), generation of speakers (young, middle-aged, old), gender (men, women) and social class (middle, working). The data are compared to Received Pronunciation (RP) tone nomenclature (Crystal, 1969) in search of systemic (i.e. concerned with the total repertoire of tones in each variety), distributional and realisational differences. Within the identical tone systems a considerable difference in the distribution of certain WE pitch configurations is interpreted as the impact of the Welsh language. The data are further specified to the dominant pattern frequency in each region, age, gender and social class. Special reference is made to the acoustic structure of rise-falls in North Wales, which is a new subject of research.
