Speaker Ethnicity, Language Background, And The Pronunciation Of Hawaiian Place Names

Drager, Katie ; Kirtley, M. Joelle ; Awai, Clinton Kakela ; Lee, Catherine ; Kim, Jonny

Resumo:

Residents of Hawai‘i exhibit a great deal of variation in their pronunciation of place names that have a Hawaiian origin. Using wordlist data, we investigate whether the phonetic realization of Hawaiian place names is linked to speaker ethnicity (i.e., whether the speaker has Native Hawaiian ancestry) and/or language background (i.e., whether the speaker speaks Hawaiian).
