| Abstract | A study investigated the relationship between sex and social class in the spontaneous speech of 16 individuals from Newcastle upon Tyne (England). Specifically, the study examined the frequency of glottalized variants of three voiceless stops, and treated variation by sex as separate from, not a byproduct of, variation by class. Subjects were four male and four female adults from professional families and four female and four male adults who were in unskilled occupations or unemployed. An analysis of the patterns shows an effect of class and a much larger effect of sex. Results suggest that the glottalization considered characteristic of Tyneside vernacular is better described as a male rather than a working class norm. Supporting data from the vowel patterns of the same speakers suggest that consonant variables are more likely than vowel variables to function as sex markers. It is concluded that it is inappropriate to develop a sociolinguistic theory that attempts to explain sex differences in terms of class, and to account for the interacting effect of sex and class by invoking a stereotyped notion of women's status-consciousness.
