This paper examines the effects of housing segregation on variation in the vowel systems of young speakers of Swedish who have grown up in different neighborhoods of Gothenburg. Significant differences are found for variants of the variables /i:/ and /y:/, which are strongly associated with the local dialect; these two vowels also exhibit coherence. Another vowel pair, /ε:/ and /ø:/, are involved in a coherent leveling process affecting many of the central Swedish dialects but differing in degree of openness in different neighborhoods of Gothenburg. The results show that the variation is not simply a reflection of foreign background, nor of groups of youth adopting single variants; rather, a number of social factors conflate in housing segregation, which interferes with the transmission of more abstract aspects of the local dialect's vowel system to young speakers in certain neighborhoods.

分离的元音:哥德堡青年的语言变异和方言特征

本文研究了住房隔离对在哥德堡不同社区长大的瑞典语年轻使用者元音系统变化的影响。变量 /i:/ 和 /y:/ 的变体存在显着差异,它们与当地方言密切相关;这两个元音也表现出连贯性。另一个元音对 /ε:/ 和 /ø:/ 参与了一个连贯的调平过程,影响了许多瑞典中部方言,但在哥德堡的不同街区的开放程度不同。结果表明,变异不仅仅是外国背景的反映,也不是青年群体采用单一变异的反映;相反,许多社会因素在住房隔离中混为一谈,这干扰了当地方言更抽象方面的传播”
