6.5. Morphological Variable Chosen for the Experiment<br />
1) Preterite end<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>in</strong> /Mt/ are used where Standard English has /-t/, for<br />
example:<br />
kick ~ kickit<br />
pick ~ pickit<br />
This end<strong>in</strong>g (or its allomorphic variant [-t]) is used also where StE has a stem<br />
vowel change:<br />
catch ~ catchit<br />
tell ~ tellt<br />
sell ~ sellt<br />
ken ~ kent<br />
This is the only morphological variable used <strong>in</strong> the experiment, as it proved<br />
too difficult to reliably elicit variables <strong>of</strong> this type.<br />
