Abstract

Post-War years have brought new speech habits and evaluations on grounds of so far unprecedented social contacts between the classes. The following paper will focus on recent articulatory developments together with their socio-economic roots and psy-chological implications, to assess the effects of cross-cultural influence on educated Southern British English.
