Abstract
Acoustic and auditory analyses of the English of
Middlesbrough and Newcastle (UK) have identified
pre-aspirated allophones for voiceless stops in word-final
position for female speakers. Acoustic analysis of the
second author, a native speaker of Middlesbrough English,
revealed that her pre-aspirated stops were fricated
throughout in pre-vocalic position. This paper provides
some preliminary acoustic results on the degree of
pre-aspiration and frication of stops in Middlesbrough
English, and compares results with acoustic data for the
fricated /t/ of Dublin and Hiberno-English (slit-t).
