Lots of people asking whether the southern English vowel shift (RP-SSB-MLE) that I posted last week is happening in working class accents (Cockney-Estuary-MLE) in the same area of England. It's worth noting that all of these working class accents are still widely heard, whereas RP is not. It is clear that these accents appeared in a certain order in London over the last few hundred years and this is how we can see the shift. #phonetics #accents #language | Pronunciation Studio
