| description | Phonological accommodation, or phonological convergence, describes the
phenomenon where individuals adjust their speech styles to align more closely with
their interlocutor's speech. This thesis delves into the impact of three social variables—
origin, sex, and attitudes—on phonological accommodation, using the phonological
variables (q), (D), (Θ), and (ð) as indicators of salience to examine this phenomenon.
A total of 60 participants were selected using a quota sampling method, and data was
gathered through a structured questionnaire that is divided into four sections:
demographic, identification, phonological variables use, and attitude. and in-depth
interviews with twelve respondents, evenly distributed by origin and sex. The
questionnaire and interview data were analyzed descriptively, while the attitude
section of the questionnaire used Likert scale that rates from strongly agree (1) to
strongly disagree (5). The findings revealed distinct patterns of phonological
convergence. Females from rural Palestinian backgrounds showed complete
convergence to the urban speech form, whereas their Horani counterparts exhibited
partial convergence to the urban variety. Males from rural Palestinian backgrounds
tended to adopt the Horani local variant of the (Q) variable, while remaining
conservative with the other phonological variables. |
