Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 2,0, Technical University of Chemnitz, course: Phonetics and Phonology, language: English, abstract: This paper should analyse and discuss the way how the pronunciaton of consonantal characteristics of the Scouse accent came into being, their development over three centuries as well as the question what the future may hold for them. Will they rather regress or will they gain more stability or will they maybe turn out to develop in a completely new way under certain influences. Latter could always be speculations depending on preceding conditions. Furthermore, the explanation of the Scouse accent's key features is illustrated by some real speech samples and visualised by electronic measurement.
