Marten Juskan studies how Liverpool English is spoken, recognised and evaluated. Combining interviews with a perception experiment, the book asks how awareness of particular pronunciation features relates to their use and to listeners' expectations about Scouse.
The analysis covers vowel and consonant variation, local history, social salience and the effects of priming on speech perception. Separate discussions of production and perception lead to conclusions about dialect change and sociolinguistic representation. This complete 2018 monograph retains the questionnaire, reading passage, word list, experimental materials, references and index.
