How languages organize sounds in the speech signal into meaningful categories --- and if salient differences in that signal constitute different categories --- is a fundamental issue in linguistics. Because of its wide-ranging dialectal diversity, along with changing social patterns brought on by relatively recent economic prosperity, Norwegian provides an appealing test case to investigate the relationship of and interactions between phonetics and phonology and the ways in which phonetic patterns are influenced socially. Previous work in general Norwegian phonology and phonetics has focused largely on the Oslo dialect. Little attention has been paid to fine-grained variation in other Norwegian dialects, although there has been considerable investigation into dialectal patterns in segmental inventories from both synchronic and diachronic perspectives. This dissertation addresses these issues by examining regional and social variation in Norwegian vowel categories and productions.

520 $a How languages organize sounds in the speech signal into meaningful categories --- and if salient differences in that signal constitute different categories --- is a fundamental issue in linguistics. Because of its wide-ranging dialectal diversity, along with changing social patterns brought on by relatively recent economic prosperity, Norwegian provides an appealing test case to investigate the relationship of and interactions between phonetics and phonology and the ways in which phonetic patterns are influenced socially. Previous work in general Norwegian phonology and phonetics has focused largely on the Oslo dialect. Little attention has been paid to fine-grained variation in other Norwegian dialects, although there has been considerable investigation into dialectal patterns in segmental inventories from both synchronic and diachronic perspectives. This dissertation addresses these issues by examining regional and social variation in Norwegian vowel categories and productions.
520 $a This research draws on phonological theory and sociophonetic methods to investigate the extent to which Norwegian vowels' phonological representations can capture social variation of acoustic features. Using data gathered from sociolinguistic interviews, the dissertation examines vowel productions from twenty-eight Norwegian participants who provide a cross-section of the dialectal variation in Norway. I adopt a framework in which the phonological component of the grammar consists of features that only mark language-specific contrasts. Additional articulatory and acoustic information is then filled in, often as salient social markers, in subsequent components, or levels of representation.
520 $a The analysis focuses on broad dialectal differences in vowel productions and a sociophonetic investigation of three vowels in the Long Back-Vowel Chain Shift (LBCS), a diachronic change that distinguishes Norwegian --- and Swedish --- from other Germanic varieties. The results are consistent with a uniform phonological structure of Norwegian vowels and provide insight into how social categories influence the phonetic properties of that structure. This dissertation offers a step forward in unifying phonological theory with sociophonetic considerations by specifying the ways in which various socially differentiated variations and changes-in-progress affect representational systems in phonology.
