Post by: lolbox on March 22, 2010, 01:44:15 pm

Hey guys, could someone help me spot some phonological, lexical and morphological features in this interview between Andrew Denton and Steve Irwin (and the different type of Australian english spoken by them, how do you know this?)

I'm having a lot of trouble spotting this stuff so if anyone could assist I'd be eternally greatful

With Steve Irwin

Phonologically -
Elongated Vowel sound Da--d instead of Dad. 

Lexically -
"I've come up on it" something to do with incorrect tense, cant remember the correct metalinguistic terms.

"Crikey" typical australian lexical choice

Morphologically -
Fishin', Catchin', Glidin', Walkin', Shootin' - assimilation

Also Breeeyown - Brown. Adding a sound in, epenthesis.
