“…This variable has been analyzed extensively in the sociolinguistic literature, as it occurs in many varieties of English worldwide (e.g., Cheshire, 1982;Clarke, 1997:229;Cukor-Avila, 1997;Fasold, 1972;Godfrey & Tagliamonte, 1999;Labov, Cohen, Robins, & Lewis, 1968;Poplack & Tagliamonte 1989, 2005Schneider, 1983;Singler, 1991;Wolfram, 1969).

"Mam, my trousers is fa'in doon!": Community, caregiver, and child in the acquisition of variation in a Scottish dialect J e n n i f e r S m i t h Glasgow University M e r c e d e s D u r h a m a n d L i a n e F o r t u n e University of YorkRecent work on acquisition in sociolinguistic research suggests that some aspects of the structured variation found in adult speech are evident in children's speech from the very start of language acquisition, and input from the primary caregiver is crucial in this process. In this article we contribute to this research by conducting a cross-sectional analysis of the acquisition of variable forms in a Scottish dialect. Two linguistic variables are targeted in the speech of eleven children (2;10-3;6) and their primary caregivers. Quantitative analysis of over 5000 contexts of use demonstrates that one variable is conditioned by social and linguistic constraints in the speech of the caregiver and these constraints are matched by the children. In contrast, the other variable is influenced by a complex array of linguistic constraints only. We explore the ramifications of these findings for understanding the mechanisms involved in acquisition of variation from the very earliest stages.Over the past few decades, sociolinguistic research has concentrated on the structured heterogeneity inherent in all speech and how this variation is conditioned by both internal and external linguistic constraints (e.g., Weinreich, Labov, & Herzog, 1968). The predominant focus of this research has been on adolescent and adult speech 1 , but what about variation at the source, that is, the acquisition of variable forms from the very youngest age, as shown in (1)?

“…Besides the manner of articulation of the following segments, it has been shown that the place of articulation of these segments also influenced alveolar stop deletion rates. For Afro-American English, Fasold (1972) found more deletions of alveolar stops if these were followed by consonants with the same place of articulation than if they were followed by consonants with a different place of articulation.…”

Data have mainly be drawn from spoken language corpora, where a tight control over contributing factors of /t/-deletion is hardly possible. Here, we present a new way of creating a spoken language corpus adhering to some crucial factors we wanted to hold constant for the investigation of word-final /t/-deletion in German. German is especially interesting with regard to /t/ deletion due to its rich suffixal morphology, attributing morphological status to word-final /t/ in many paradigms. We focused on verb inflection and employed a verb form production task for creating a concise corpus of naturally spoken language in which we could control for factors previously established to affect /t/-deletion. We then determined the best estimators for /t/-productions (i.e. canonical, deleted, or reduced) in our corpus. The influence of extra-linguistic factors was comparable to previous studies. We suggest that our method of constructing a natural language corpus with carefully selected characteristics is a viable way for the examination of deletions and reductions during speech production. Furthermore, we found that the best predictor for non-canonical productions and deletions was the following phonological context.
