Horvath, Barbara M.; Horvath, Ronald J.
Language Variation and Change, v13 n1 p37-57 2001
Focuses on vocalization of /l/ in nine Australian and New Zealand cities. Discusses an instrument designed to include all relevant phonological environments; demonstrates the strategic potential of moving from a unilocality to a multilocality sociolinguistics; conceptualizes a variationist isogloss; and proposes a conception of geography that helps distinguish language change processes that are universal from those that are not.
