In the meantime, the short words spelled with short-o like socks or block or cot move into the position that was formerly occupied by ah. So the man's name Jahn that's a man's name, Jahn. And the girl's name becomes Jain. So this is like a game of musical chairs. We call it chain shifting, in which five or six vowels all change places.
Well, American dialects have been studied for a hundred years or so. But unlike European countries, America has never finished a map of the United States, only the eastern United States is covered and a few spots here and there. So we included both Canada and the United States in a study we started in 1992. And in about six years we covered the entire continent using a telephone survey of all the urbanized areas, the big cities. So it covers about two-thirds of the population of North America, and it represents them with about 800 speakers.现在这里发生的事情是短期的变得爱在每一个字,这样的人,说,theaht和feahct。在此期间,短的话拼写短o类似袜子或块或婴儿床迁入的立场是,以前被占用的啊。因此该名男子的名字是一个人的名字,雅恩雅恩。女孩的名字成为耆那教。因此,这是像音乐椅游戏。我们叫它链转移,在五或六个元音变化的地方。
那么,美国方言已经研究一百年左右。但与欧洲国家不同,美国永远不会结束美国的地图,只有美国东部的覆盖,并在这里和那里的几个景点。因此,我们在研究中,我们在1992年开始包括加拿大和美国。约六十年,我们采用电话调查的所有城市化地区,大城市覆盖了整个大陆。因此,它涵盖了北美人口的大约三分之二,它代表约800扬声器。
