<span class="translation_missing" title="translation missing: de.options.poster">poster</span>: Accent variation according to audience

a case study of Taylor Swift

With Bell's Audience Design theory at its outset, this study seeks to explore the variation in Taylor Swift's accent depending on whether she is addressing a national American audience or an audience of Country music listeners. For this purpose, Swift’s accent is analysed regarding three phonetic features associated with Southern accents: the monophthongisation of /aɪ/, apical (ing), and the PIN/PEN merger. For each variable, an auditory analysis and an acoustic analysis in Praat are conducted. The analyses reveal an effect of variation in audience on Taylor Swift’s production of Southern accent features
for all three phonetic variables under investigation, albeit to varying degrees. It is then discussed how this difference in effects may be attributed to different levels of awareness.
