Resumen
The foot-strut split is a phonological phenomenon where the vowel /u/ divided into different phonemes / / (as in foot) and / / (as in strut). However, the split did not occur in the North of England, and these vowels have remained a single phoneme for Northern English speakers. Yorkshire is a county in the North of England where this split is not present and most of its speakers do not differentiate between both phonemes / / and / /. In this dissertation, a small corpus of Yorkshire accent speakers has been created by asking them to utter 7 minimal pairs. Consequently, the recordings have been analysed using the program Praat. This work illustrates the lack of the foot-strut split in the Yorkshire accent in most of the speakers recorded, as only 1 out of 8 speakers did have the split present in their accent.
