СОЦИОЛИНГВИСТИЧЕСКОЕ ИССЛЕДОВАНИЕ ВАРИАТИВНОСТИ ТВЁРДОСТИ СОГЛАСНОГО [Т] ИЛИ [Т’] ПЕРЕД ГЛАСНЫМ Е
This paper studies sociophonetic variation of palatalized vs. non-palatalized “t” followed by "e" in Russian. It is shown that the choice of palatalized vs. non-palatalized [t] depends on the age and gender of the speaker as well as on the speech situation. Our data show that the most salient correlation is with the age of the speaker.

The Ustja dialect belongs to the Vologda dialect group. The latter has a well documented realization of the etymological *ê as [i] between palatalized consonants, under stress. Among contemporary speakers, *ê in this context may be realized either as [i] (the dialectal variant) or as [e] (standard Russian). No speaker who only uses the dialectal variant has been recorded. The paper focuses on how particular wordforms and the speaker’s age correlate with the variation between the dialectal vs. standard realization.
