Abstract

This is the first issue of the second volume of Lifespans & Styles: Undergraduate Working Papers on Intraspeaker Variation. Thanks to the success of our first volume, as well as a new partnership with this volume’s Guest Editor, Dr Laurel MacKenzie (University of Manchester), Lifespans & Styles received four times as many publishable contributions this year as last year. We have split these into two issues and are happy to present the first seven papers here.
