Educated Poznań speech 30 years later

Abstract

The study compares educated Poznań speech on the basis of a study byWitaszek-Samborska (1985, 1986) and a corpus compiled thirty years later. Thefeatures of Poznań speech, examined on 14 speakers from the corpus, include:voicing of obstruents before heterolexical sonorants (okszyg emocji), realizationof word-final -ą as [-ɔm] (idom tom drogom), realization of /stʂ tʂ dʐ/ as /ʂt͡ʂ t͡ʂ d͡ʐ/ (szczelać), the presence of the velar nasal [ŋ] before a heteromorphemic velarplosive /k/ (okienko), realization of word-final -ej as /-i(j)/ or /-ɨ(j)/ (lepi(j)), presenceof prothetic [w] before word-initial /ɔ/ (łojciec), presence of voiced /v/ in clusterswith preceding voiceless consonants (trwy), and realization of -śmy as [ʑmɨ](słyszelˈiśmy). The results suggest a change in Poznań speech and point towardsdialect levelling.
