Movement of households, radio, TV, and internet are homoginising accents. E.g. yoofs speaking Ebonics in island nations. Some people have an incredible ability to place accents e.g. I was hitching in Ireland, he picked up another guy, and then thw driver guessed the birthplace of the hitcher to a tiny village (10s of people) just by accent. I have picked that someone I met at the pub was from a particular house (flat) by accent once (students sharing house). |
