A Non-Segmental Phonetic and Phonological Analysis of Variation in Natural Speech

Experimental Phonetics Laboratory, University of York, UK

The aim of this paper is to present a methodology for making a non-segmental phonological description for a small amount of data, based on close phonetic observation. The intention is not to present a non-segmental labelling scheme, but to show what sorts of things one must consider in order to devise such a scheme, and to give an idea of what such a scheme would be like. I want to show that there are other ways of analysing data which might be more linguistically interesting when fast and slow speech are compared than if more traditional segmental labels are used.
