Functional <strong>Change</strong> • When the movement of one sound threatens intelligibility, internal changes can occur within the system to preserve important contrasts. • This may result in the phenomena known as drag- and push-chains where sounds can “push” and “pull” each other in order to maintain equilibrium within the system (Labov, 1994). • This can have major consequences for the vowel system. (teleology of function) • Labov (1994) has proposed a set of principles that predict vowel movement through space
Merger • If the system does not adjust to change, contrasts may be lost. e.g. NZE “near-square” merger (Hay, Warren and Drager, in press) • Conditional merger has occurred for some speakers of SAusE in prelateral environments. e.g. /æ-e/ (Cox and Palethorpe, 2004) /ʊ-ʉː/ and /əʉ-ɔ/ (Palethorpe and Cox, 2004). • Merger and chain shift are consequences of the same process
