    DUBLIN CITY UNIVERSITY Supervisor: Dr. Margaret Gibbon School of Applied Language and Intercultural Studies "Changes in Contemporary Standard Spanish: A Socio-phonetic Appraisal" A thesis submitted to Dublin City University in candidacy for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Begona Alvarez-O'Neill September, 1998 I,da. Filologia Inglesa, M. Phil., H. Dip. Ed. DECLARATION I hereby certify that this material which I now submit for assessment on the programme of study leading to the award of Doctor of Philosophy, is entirely my own work and has not been taken from the work of others save and to the extent that such work has been cited and acknowledged within the text of my work. X l£ i£ i- I.D.: 91701406 Date: 11. September. 1998 ABSTRACT "Changes in Contemporary Standard Spanish: A Socio-phonetic Appraisal" This thesis aims to highlight recent developments in the spoken Spanish of educated speakers, and challenges the relevance of published accounts of what currently constitutes standard spoken Spanish. Based on a large case-study of predominantly upper-middle class speakers (largely diplomatic corps and newsreaders), it proves, by means of phonetic analysis, that linguistic variables considered to represent non-standard speech are increasingly used and accepted by such speakers. The data upon which these findings were founded were obtained by means of taped recordings of televised newscasters over a three year period, and interviews involving a variety of reading tasks and introspection. The analysis points to the significance of age, gender, education and socio-economic background in accounting for differences between speakers. Nonetheless, differences are outweighed by similarities.

Year after year, you have demonstrated your support for the Group’s development policy and your vision as well as your patience are now being rewarded. The market price soared 50% in 2005 and is again rising at the beginning of 2006, as I write these lines. What is being recognized, I believe, is the quality of our business model, which delivers steady growth in our results. In 2005, the Christian Dior Group recorded the highest revenue and earnings in its history and we are projecting very substantial growth in profitability again in 2006. In 2005, the hundredth anniversary celebration of the birth of Christian Dior was an extraordinary success, demonstrating the unique brilliance of the brand. Both its rich history and tradition, combined with its dynamic appeal driven by the talents of our three designers, are the forces driving this unparalleled interest. Backed by its traditional values, which are only enhanced by its contemporary image, the Christian Dior brand is attracting new customers and becoming a leader worldwide, including the newest consumer countries like China and India.
