Definition
An accent used by many speakers of various social classes in southeastern England, characterized by a mixture of features drawn from middle-class and working-class speech.
special sounds
- Use of intrusive R.
- A broad A (ɑː) in words such as bath, grass, laugh, etc. This is often seen as the litmus test of a South-East accent, but it has only spread to rural areas of the south-east in the last forty years.
- T-glottalisation, i.e., using some glottal stops: that is, "t" is sounded as a glottal occlusion instead of being fully pronounced when it occurs before a consonant or at the end of words, as in "eight" or "McCartney" and it can also occur between vowels, as in Cockney or southern dialects e.g. "water" (pronounced as [wɔːʔə])
- Yod-coalescence, i.e., the use of the affricates /ʤ/ and /ʧ/ instead of the clusters /dj/ and /tj/ in words like "dune" and "tune".
- Diphthong shifts, e.g., the diphthong in words like "I" becomes [ɑɪ], the diphthong in words like "brown" becomes [æʊ], and the diphthong in words like "face" becomes [ɛɪ], [ɐɪ], [ʌɪ], or [æɪ]
- L-vocalisation, i.e., the use of [o] where RP uses [ɫ] in the final positions or in a final consonant cluster.
- Use of confrontational question tags. For example, "We're going later, aren't we?", "I said that, didn't I?"
- Th-fronting, i.e., replacement of [θ, ð] with [f, v] (e.g. [fɪŋk] for think)
- H-dropping, i.e., Dropping [h] in stressed words (e.g. [æʔ] for hat)
- Double negation. However, Estuary English may use "never" in case where "not" would be the Standard. For example, "he did not" [in reference to a single occasion] might become "he never did".
