Someone commented on my yokel version, which for ages I have thought was the received pronunciation of the word. |
Clare Francis speaks with the sort of received pronunciation you might expect from a former yachtswoman brought up in the Home Counties. |
I heard my dad struggle with the pronunciation, trying to add on an Italian accent along with the words and couldn't hold back a giggle. |
Some individuals can also change their dialects to a limited extent in terms of accent, pronunciation, and vocabulary. |
However, differences in dialect consist primarily of slight differences in accent or pronunciation and minor grammatical usages. |
We should remember that Gladstone had a strong Merseyside accent, and that received pronunciation is largely an artefact of the broadcast era. |
