This paper explores stylistic variation in the use of word-medial and word-final released and glottalled /t/ in London and Edinburgh. Specifically, it investigates the extent to which the social salience of a linguistic feature constrains individual differences in the degree and direction of intra-individual variation. Variation in the social salience of t-glottalling is explored in two linguistic contexts: word-medially, where it is high in London and somewhat lower in Edinburgh, and word-finally, where it is lower than in medial position in both places. Data is based on paired sociolinguistic interviews of 24 London-born adolescents and 21 Edinburgh-born adolescents. Results suggest that while style-shifting norms from speech to reading differ between London and Edinburgh adolescents, they are similar within the communities. However, there are many individual differences in the degree and direction of style-shifting and the latter are more pronounced in final position, where the social salience is weaker. There is also a somewhat large number of Edinburgh adolescents who diverge from the majority norm in medial position and who do not style-shift at all.

说话人内部差异的个体差异：英格兰和苏格兰的t-声门

本文探讨了在伦敦和爱丁堡使用的字词中间和字词最终发布和标高/ t /的风格变化。具体来说，它研究了语言特征的社会显着性在多大程度上限制了个体内部差异程度和方向上的个体差异。在两种语言环境中探讨了t-声门处理的社会显着性的变化：单词居中，在伦敦居高不下，在爱丁堡稍低；以及单词居最后，在两个地方都比居中低。数据基于对24名伦敦出生的青少年和21名爱丁堡出生的青少年进行的社会语言访谈。结果表明，伦敦和爱丁堡青少年之间，从言语到阅读的风格转变规范有所不同，但在社区中却相似。然而，在风格转移的程度和方向上存在许多个体差异，而后者在最终位置上更为明显，而社会地位则较弱。爱丁堡还有一些青少年，他们在中间位置与多数人的标准背道而驰，根本没有风格上的转变。
