  • A prisoner society was founded in the late eighteenth century, bringing persons of many languages together.
  • It's likely that some dialect levelling had already occurred in England or at sea. The early settlers had a big influence on the language evolution in the new area.
  • Borrowing from Aboriginal languages, maintaining or borrowing from English dialects, expanding the reference of existing resources, or conjoining existing parts in compounds or set phrases were all used to enhance the language's lexicon. 
  • The social experience of Australians functioned as a guiding factor in determining the actual evolution of the language from these varied foundations.
  • Australian English is a new dialect that arose from interactions between individuals who spoke diverse, mutually understandable forms of English that varies less than 200 years old. 
  • The children of the colonists who were born into the early colony in Sydney would have spoken the very early version of Australian English to fit the conversation by talking in languages that are understandable. 
  • It is believed that these youngsters developed a distinct dialect that eventually become the national language.
  • Once they are exposed with dialects from different nations, they would create their own element of dialects and there is also some evidences that can prove it.

    • William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy (modern-day France), attacked and conquered England in 1066. The new invaders (known as the Normans) brought a form of French with them, which became the language of the Royal Court, as well as the ruling and business classes. 
    • For a moment there existed a form of linguistic class division, where the lower classes spoke English and the upper classes spoke French. 
    • In the 14th century English became dominant in Britain again, although with several French words added. Middle English is the name given to this dialect. 
    • It was the language of the great poet Chaucer (c1340-1400), although native English speakers would struggle to grasp it now.

    - Chips in Australia can refer to 'hot' chips, which are fried potato strips. Chips also refer to what are known in other countries as crisps.

    -Here, we could clearly hear the difference when Mia and Cady address a thin slice of potato that has been either deep fried, baked, or air fried until crunchy.
    -Cady says crisps while Mia says chips.
    -In most country, potato chips often called 'chips'. But the British called it as crisps as it is crispy according to Cady.]]>     2022-05-16 10:08:09 UTC https://padlet.com/2021614604/ePortfolio/wish/2185451096     Consonant T in 'MEETING' 2021485946 https://padlet.com/2021614604/ePortfolio/wish/2185688456 (AUSTRALIA)
    - When /t/ appears after a stressed vowel and before a weak vowel, just like American, Australian often make a voiced flap – a bit like a very fast /d/.
    - Mia pronounce the 't' in meeting with /d/ sound, /miːdɪŋ/.

    (ENGLAND)
    -British has two ways to pronounce the alphabet 't'. 
    -In Standard British this would be pronounced as a normal /t/
    while in the regional British, cockney, this would be pronounce with glottal stop.

    - It is "free" in that sense since a varied pronunciation does not result in a new phrase or meaning. 
    - This is due to the interchangeability of some allophones and phonemes, which may be exchanged for one another, or because their distribution overlaps.]]>     2022-05-17 03:14:04 UTC https://padlet.com/2021614604/ePortfolio/wish/2186826472     ENGLAND 2021485946 https://padlet.com/2021614604/ePortfolio/wish/2186928258

  • The South East, centred on London, is a powerful economic region. It is home to a diverse mix of manufacturing and science-based businesses and ventures. The West Midlands is a varied manufacturing region in west-central England, centred on Birmingham.

  • With only 707 followers on her Tiktok account, this video of cady reached 427.3 k views today (May 17th 2022).

    • In this video, she mimic a sound saying "I know that one" with a caption "Pov; you're in a restaurant in Soul and hear the table next to you say 'shibal waegukin'".

    • 'Shibal' is a curse Korean word that means "oh shit" or "Oh fuck" or "motherfucker" while, 'waegukin' means 'foreigner'.

    • So in this video, Cady is trying to tell us that maybe she's been treated differently simply because she is a white foreigner living in Korea.

  • Lexical variation is the usage of words that varies and different from one another though they refer to the same things or objects. 
  • Vocabulary, sentence structure and pronunciations are three different elements that are important in lexical variation. 
  • They can change anytime and anywhere depending on the time and the social groups involved.
  • Different countries use different words that are actually referring to the same meaning yet it is actually normal to do so as it is one of the language's rules when it comes to lexical.

These two English native speaking country from the inner circle has their own vocabulary, stress and rhythm and their own pronunciation. Mia and Cady the representative of their own country, you can see and hear the differences although they are both from the inner circle county. This shows how wide and vary English language is.

This is because in prosodic variation, different accent has different ways on how to stress on words in a sentence.
