New York City English (NYCE) and New Orleans English (NOE) demonstrate remarkable similarity for cities located 1300 miles apart. Though the question of whether these dialects feature a shared history has fueled papers on the subject (Berger, 1980; Labov, 2007), there remain a number of issues with the historical record that prevent researchers from arriving at a consensus (Eble, 2016). This article presents linguistic evidence from constraint ranking comparisons of variable nonrhoticity andbought-raising in comparable contemporary samples of NYCE and NOE speakers. Findings demonstrate strikingly similar systems for (r), but dissimilar systems forbought-raising. We examine the results of our analyses in the context of evidence from previous comparisons of NYCE and NOE, concluding that the resemblance between the two dialects is likely due to diffusion from New York City to New Orleans, occurring in the 19th century beforebought-raising emerged in either variety.

纽约市与新奥尔良的联系：来自约束排名比较的证据

纽约市英语 (NYCE) 和新奥尔良英语 (NOE) 在相距 1300 英里的城市中表现出显着的相似性。尽管这些方言是否具有共同历史的问题已经推动了有关该主题的论文（Berger，1980；Labov，2007），但历史记录仍然存在许多问题，阻碍了研究人员达成共识（Eble，2016） . 本文介绍了来自变量 nonroticity 和买- 在 NYCE 和 NOE 演讲者的可比当代样本中提高。结果表明（r）的系统惊人地相似，但系统不同买-提高。我们在之前比较 NYCE 和 NOE 的证据的背景下检查了我们的分析结果，得​​出的结论是，这两种方言之间的相似之处可能是由于 19 世纪之前发生的从纽约市到新奥尔良的传播买任何一个品种都出现了加注。
