Abstract
This paper presents the results of an acoustic analysis of
/s/ as produced by a socially-stratified sample of 31
speakers of Glaswegian. Single spectral and whole
spectrum measures together confirm a consistent effect of
sex, whilst interactions of age and class in the same
measures suggest that acoustic patterns indexical of
gender are also present.
