Patterns of Change in Phonological Juxtapositions- A Case of Stress in English Dialect Spoken in Faisalabad

Abstract

    The present study is aimed to compare the Standard English dialect (RP) with the dialect of English spoken in Faisalabad. The comparison is based on stress, which is compared at the word level for di, tri,tetra, and pentasyllabic words. For sampling,Faisalabad's education sector is separated into two primary strata, government and private, each of which is further segmented by gender. Each stratum has a total of 20 pupils. The data was evaluated on two levels:first, the researcher's perspective, and second, acoustic evidence. The findings revealed both inter and intradialectal differences. Variations in stress patterns have been emphasized by comparing the two dialects. The percentages of similarities and differences found in each dialect were used to calculate the results. In each group, the proportion of comparable stress patterns is around 50 Percent. More differences have been encountered in these dialects than similarities
