| Abstract | Slideshow for presentation on research into Upper Midwestern final obstruent devoicing. Earlier research found that speakers of this region systematically produce final laryngeal distinctions in ways that differ from those otherwise reported for American English. This dialect feature may well reflect substratal influence. The authors hypothesize that such local patterns reflect broader regional ones and extend to at least some other immigrant groups. The presentation reports on an analysis of recordings from older dialect research (e.g., Dictionary of American Regional English and the Wisconsin English Language Survey) of various immigrant/ethnic backgrounds across eastern Wisconsin. |
