Sociolinguistic Variation in Australian English: A Study of Non-Rhotic Consonants

This research explores the complexities of Australian English, focusing on its non-rhotic accents, consonant pronunciation patterns, and distinctive features like h-dropping and T-voicing. The study highlights high-rising intonation in statements, yod coalescence, and glottalization, analyzing their implications in sociolinguistic contexts. Through a comprehensive examination of lexical sets, including KIT, DRESS, and LOT, the paper contributes to understanding regional variations and their social significance within Australian English, building on Horvath's foundational work from 1985.
