dc.description.abstractThe pronunciation of English diphthongs varies across dialects. In Received Pronunciation, closing diphthongs are /eɪ/, /aɪ/, /əʊ/ and /aʊ/ whereas in Australian English rising diphthongs include /æɪ/, /ɑe/, /əʉ/ and /æɔ/, which are similar to Cockney and broad London. These accents from the south-east of England were the most predominant among the first Australian settlers, whose influence can be seen in the current production of diphthongs in Australian English. A small corpus of 5 RP and 8 Australian English speakers has been created in this dissertation by asking them to utter 8 carrier sentences which included specific words containing the required diphthongs. The recordings have been segmented and the words with the diphthongs have been analysed using the program Praat. The words analysed in this study exemplify how these diphthongs are produced differently in Received Pronunciation and in Australian English.en
