‘The second Great Vowel Shift?’ ?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 February 2009
Extract
Laurie Bauer seems to have let his imagination run away with him (Bauer, 1979). On the one hand, he has been misled by the similarity of phenomena in a number of accents of English into thinking that there is a common vowel shift in progress. On the other hand, he has been too selective and somewhat undiscriminating in his choice of corroborating evidence.
