Description
M.A. dissertation presenting a study of the vowel phonemes in the idiolects of three people from north London ( Stepney, Hoxton and Kilburn), with the purpose of identifying any distinctive local variants. The study is based on continuous, uninhibited conversation collected with the aid of a tape recorder over Christmas 1970.
