Another one where the title pretty much says it all already…
Donegan, Patricia. 1993. On the phonetic basis of phonological change. In Charles Jones (Ed.), Historical linguistics: Problems and perspectives. London: Longman. pp. 98-130. http://www.ling.osu.edu/~ddurian/AWAC/donegan 1993.pdf
I am a sociolinguist with a Ph D in Linguistics from The Ohio State University. Currently, I work as the Lecturer at Rice University, where I teach undergraduate courses in both sociolinguistics and general linguistics. I also work on research projects investing language variation and change in US English a variety of cities. Specifically, at the moment, this includes Houston, Chicago, and Columbus, OH.
