- Double-weighted statement
- This monograph length study applies an innovative data collection and analysis methodology to a long-discussed theoretical issue in French linguistics. The extensive corpus used and the fine-grained nature of the analysis qualifies the monograph for double weighting in REF. The methodologies employed are sociophonetic in nature, combining detailed acoustic phonetic analysis with well-established data collection techniques in Labovian sociolinguistics. The findings have theoretical implications regarding the interface between language and dialect contact and the evidence for language change in regional varieties of French provides evidence for spontaneous local developments, challenging the received view that these varieties of language are ephemeral.
