艾尔吉奥写道:“伦敦发音成为专家们(正音学研究者和朗诵教师)对一种新口音的特权。正音学研究者们决定修正发音,编纂发音词典,并在私下收费高昂的辅导课上,用流行的发音方式对一些努力进取的公民进行训练”。
The lofty manner of speech developed by these specialists gradually became standardized — it is officially called "Received Pronunciation" — and it spread across Britain. However, people in the north of England, Scotland and Ireland have largely maintained their traditional rhotic accents.
由这些专家们开发的高傲讲话方式逐渐成为标准化-被正式称为“标准发音”-在英国各地传播开来。不过,在英格兰北部、苏格兰和爱尔兰的人们大部分都还保持其传统带卷舌音的口音。
Most American accents have also remained rhotic, with some exceptions: New York and Boston accents have become non-rhotic. According to Algeo, after the Revolutionary War, these cities were "under the strongest influence by the British elite."
大多数美国人的口音也保持卷舌音,当然也有例外:纽约和波士顿口音已成为非卷舌音。据艾尔吉奥的说法,独立战争后,这些城市“受英国精英们的影响最大。”
