An auditory analysis of recordings of radio programs on two stations and their six presenters was conducted. The study found that semirhotic radio presenters used American phonological features, such as rhoticity, in situations that required a high degree of accuracy. This shows that the prestige model of SgE is shifting from the traditional Received Pronunciation (RP) based model toward a more General American (GA) oriented one, and that American-influenced features are no longer considered undesirable or sloppy. The study also found, on the other hand, that radio presenters utilized RP-like non-rhoticity in situations that required a high degree of formality. This shows that non-rhoticity still retains its traditional prestige.}, pages = {15--26}, title = {American English Phonological Features on Singapore Radio}, volume = {5}, year = {2020}, yomi = {コバヤシ, ピーター イオリ} }
