This post is to carry out a high-quality research project to conduct fundamental research on the role of fine phonetic variation in sound change by: helping to develop a real-time corpus of Glaswegian vernacular speech; adapting an existing discourse analytical technique for the Glasgow corpus for data comparison; contributing to the development of appropriate acoustic measures for analysing coda /r/ and /l/; providing and comparing quantitative real- and apparent-time accounts of variation and change in Glaswegian over the past 40 years on the basis of continuous acoustic phonetic measures for both vowels and consonants.
