		On the other hand, accents and dialects change all the time, and just as the north might be changing to become more like the south, the south will also continue to change, perhaps in a different direction from that of the northern accents in the county.
		The accent of the East End has changed because of recent immigration from overseas - for example, a large proportion of the population of Tower Hamlets in London today is of Bangladeshi origin and this has affected the local accent of adolescents there.
		Furthermore, people use accent as a way of marking self-identity and if people in the north wish to disassociate themselves from people in the south (or vice versa), they may well use accent as one way of doing that.

		Beyond his East London/East Anglian accent he has a pronounced way of pronouncing certain sounds, for instance his R's.

	Do English teachers in England speak RP? Should they? \| Antimoon Forum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Rick Johnson, of course, though, one must still remember that Chaucer would have used significantly different vowels than East Anglians today would have, considering that his language was definitely pre-Great Vowel Shift, and thus had a vowel system more like that of Scots or that of New Low Saxon than that of Modern English.
		Hence why it may look like "phonetically spelled" modern East Anglian dialects does not mean that it truly sounded like them at all.
		Maybe not, but what he means is that by assigning Chaucer's writing the modern accent suggested by the spelling, Rick was able to tap into it emotionally and enjoy it more.

	Unit 5: Accent Phonology
		Labov suggests that the combination of upper-middle class New Yorker's more consistent usage of prestige forms of the variables in question and hypercorrection of these variables by lower-middle-class New Yorkers is promting a gradual linguistic shift in New York English.
		He asserts that, "If contact between the local dialect and Standard English lies at the root of the variability we find in modern East Anglican English, we would then expect to find at least spasmodic, individual occurrences of hypercorrect forms on the part of East Anglian speakers, especially perhaps those with less education" (105).
		He assserts that, in a dialect mixture situation, "where, unusually, more than one variant survives, it is usual for the two or more surviving variants to be subject to reallocation" (110).
