This paper looks at the use of /r/-sandhi in the speech of Queen Elizabeth II. Potential contexts of /r/-sandhi were identified and analysed for the presence or absence of rhoticity and glottalisation in a corpus of Christmas speeches over a period of seven decades. The results show that the Queen avoids intrusive /r/ altogether but that she uses linking /r/ in most potential cases, that glottalisation is common when /r/-sandhi is not used, and that linking /r/ and glottalisation can also co-occur. A comparison with a longitudinal corpus of speakers also shows that the Queen resembles group-level trends in the case of linking /r/ but differs in the case of intrusive /r/. The results also indicate that a number of phonetic and usage-based variables influence linking /r/ usage, including previously unreported factors such as vowel quality collocation frequency. The findings are discussed in the context of usage-based theory.

/r/-sandhi 在伊丽莎白二世女王的演讲中

本文着眼于 /r/-sandhi 在伊丽莎白二世女王的演讲中的使用。识别并分析了 /r/-sandhi 的潜在上下文,并分析了七十年期间圣诞节演讲语料库中是否存在隆起和声门化。结果表明,女王完全避免了侵入性 /r/,但她在大多数潜在情况下使用连接 /r/,当不使用 /r/-sandhi 时,声门化很常见,连接 /r/ 和声门化也可以共同-发生。与纵向语料库的比较还表明,女王在连接 /r/ 的情况下类似于群体层面的趋势,但在侵入性 /r/ 的情况下则不同。结果还表明,许多基于语音和用法的变量会影响链接 /r/ 的使用,包括以前未报道的因素,如元音质量搭配频率。在基于使用的理论的背景下讨论了这些发现。
