The Accent of John Lennon 5: British and American Pronunciation in the Songs 1 The Accent of John Lennon 5: British and American pronunciation in the songs Shinji Sato 1.1 Introduction British rock singers seem to use a certain amount of American pronunciation in their songs. Considering the fact that a style of music called ‘rock’n’roll’ is said to have been originated in the United States in the nineteen fi fties, it is not surprising that British youngsters who listened to it were infl uenced in their style of singing. However, this phenomenon seems to be limited to a certain number of phonemes and lexical items. This study aims to investigate this issue in detail, using the songs of John Lennon as its material. 1.2 RP, GA and Liverpool accent John Lennon’s native accent is that of Liverpool, and there are some differences from the British standard accent sometimes referred to as Received Pronunciation（ RP）, and similarities to the accent called General American（ GA）. Some of the main diff erences and similarities are shown below. 2 Table 1 RP, GA and Liverpool accent Liverpool RP GA examples accent LOT vowel / 㷜 / / ɑ: / / 㷜 / got, not, want, what BATH vowel（1） / ɑ: / / æ / / æ / dance, laugh, path BATH vowel（2） / ɑ: / / æ / / ɑ: / can't, part, bar STRUT vowel / ʌ / / ʌ / / 㷚 / love, sun, come rhoticity non-rhotic rhotic non-rhotic hard, girl, more, there intervocalic /t/[ t ] [ 㶵 （] tap）[ 㶵 ]（ tap） better, getting, let it Note: LOT, BATH, and STRUT represent the keywords used by Wells（1982） . See Watt, Trudgill & Hughes（2013） for diff erent sets of words belonging to BATH vowel. Therefore, it should be understood that John Lennon’s [æ] in laugh, for example, is his native accent, and is not the result of the influence of American accent or its imitation. The same is true of [ 㶵 ] in better, getting etc. 1.3 Phonemes and lexical items to be examined Listening to John Lennon and other British singers, many instances of using American pronunciation for its British counterpart seem to concern RP / 㷜 / vowel. Therefore, the following four lexical items, i.e. got, not, want, what, are selected to be examined in detail as they are frequently used in the songs. To this set, can’t is added, as this word appears to be pronounced in the American style, i.e. [kænt] in many songs. Other words with RP/ 㷜 / are randomly selected from his songs and studied as well for comparison. Only one token of the lexical items mentioned above per song is analyzed, as the same words tend to be pronounced in the same way in the songs. For example, only one instance of got is examined in a certain 3 song though it may appear many times. In some rare cases, both British and American pronunciations are use（ as in Tomorrow Never Knows in this study）. Two to three tokens per year are aimed for. However, due to the lack of material, this is not always achieved. As John Lennon moved to the United States in September 1971 after recording Imagine in July mainly in England, the years 1963 to 1971 may be referred to as ‘the UK years/ period’ etc., and the following years as ‘the US years/period’ etc. in this study. It may be taken for granted that John Lennon naturally uses the vowels, consonants, etc. of his native accent in his speech. However, a brief examination of his speech with respect to the lexical items mentioned above is given for comparison. Auditory analysis is chiefl y employed. 2 Results The results of the analysis are shown in Tables 2 to 8 and Figures 1 to 10. 2.1 Speech As shown in Figures 1, 2 and Table 2, all the tokens of got, not, want, what and can’t recorded in the UK have British vowels. With respect to what, the American [ ɑ: ] appeared after John Lennon moved to the United States（4 out of 5 tokens in this survey. See Figure 2 and Table 2）. In total, approximately 87.8 % of the tokens in the speech have British vowels. 4 Figure 1 Distribution of British and American vowels in the speech (number in the bar = number of tokens) British vowel American vowel got 6 0 not 6 0 want 5 0 what 6 4 can't 6 0 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% Figure 2 Distribution of [ ܥ ] and [ ş: ] for what in the speech (number in the bar = number of tokens) ܥ ş: 1963-71(UK) 5 0 1972-80 (US) 1 4 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% 5 Table 2 Distribution of British and American vowel in the speech got year residence phonetic quality source 1963 UK 㷜 The Mersey Sound 1966 UK 㷜 Chicago Press Conference 1970 UK 㷜 Rolling Stone interview 1975 USA 㷜 The Tomorrow Show 1975 USA 㷜 The Tomorrow Show 1975 USA 㷜 The Tomorrow Show not year residence phonetic quality source 1963 UK 㷜 The Mersey Sound 1963 UK 㷜 The Mersey Sound 1970 UK 㷜 Rolling Stone interview 1975 USA 㷜 The Tomorrow Show 1975 USA 㷜 The Tomorrow Show 1980 USA 㷜 Rolling Stone interview want year residence phonetic quality source 1968 UK 㷜 Larry Kane Interview 1970 UK 㷜 Rolling Stone interview 1970 UK 㷜 Rolling Stone interview 1980 USA 㷜 Rolling Stone interview 1980 USA 㷜 Playboy Interview 6 what year residence phonetic quality source 1963 UK 㷜 The Mersey Sound 1966 UK 㷜 Chicago Press Conference 1966 UK 㷜 Chicago Press Conference 1970 UK 㷜 Rolling Stone interview 1970 UK 㷜 Rolling Stone interview 1975 USA ɑ: The Tomorrow Show 1975 USA ɑ: The Tomorrow Show 1980 USA ɑ: Playboy Interview 1980 USA 㷜 Playboy Interview 1980 USA ɑ: Rolling Stone interview can't year residence phonetic quality source 1963 UK ɑ: The Mersey Sound 1964 UK ɑ: interview before the fi rst US tour 1970 UK ɑ: Rolling Stone interview 1980 USA ɑ: Rolling Stone interview 1980 USA ɑ: Rolling Stone interview 1980 USA ɑ: Rolling Stone interview 2.2 Songs 2.2.1 got With regard to this item, the outcome of the song analysis is the complete opposite of the speech analysis. As shown in Figure 3 and Table 3, the American [ ɑ: ] is used for all the tokens in the songs, both in the UK and the US years, in contrast to 100% use of the British [ 㷜 ] in the speech. 7 Figure 3 Distribution of [ ܥ ] and [ ş: ] for got in the songs (number in the bar = number of tokens) ܥ ş: total 0 22 1963-71(UK) 0 8 1970-71(US) 0 14 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% Table 3 Distribution of [ 㷜 ] and [ ɑ: ] for got in the songs year phonetic quality title 1963 ɑ: All I’ve Got To Do 1964 ɑ: I Should Have Known Better 1964 ɑ: You Can’t Do That 1965 ɑ: Ticket To Ride 1965 ɑ: You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away 1966 ɑ: And Your Bird Can Sing 1967 ɑ: Good Morning Good Morning 1968 ɑ: I’m So Tired 1968 ɑ: Revolution 1969 ɑ: Dig A Pony 8 1969 ɑ: One After 909 1969 ɑ: Come Together 1970 ɑ: Mother 1971 ɑ: How? 1972 ɑ: Sunday Bloody Sunday 1972 ɑ: John Sinclair 1973 ɑ: Mind Games 1973 ɑ: Bring On The Lucie 1974 ɑ: What You Got 1974 ɑ: Going Down On Love 1974 ɑ: Nobody Loves You（ When You’re Down And Out） 1980 ɑ: I’m Losing You 2.2.2 not Once again the result is at variance with the speech analysis. The majority of the tokens in the songs have the American [ ɑ: ]（75% in total）. As set out in Figure 4 and Table 4, all the four instances with the British [ 㷜 ] occurred in the songs recorded in the UK years. 9 Figure 4 Distribution of [ ܥ ] and [ ş: ] for not in the songs (number in the bar = number of tokens) ܥ ş: total 4 12 1963-71(UK) 4 9 1972-80 (US) 0 3 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% Table 4 Distribution of [㷜] and [ɑ:] for not in the songs year phonetic quality title 1963 ɑ: Not A Second Time 1963 ɑ: Ask Me Why 1964 ɑ: I Call Your Name 1964 ɑ: I’m A Loser 1965 ɑ: Nowhere Man 1965 ɑ: In My Life 1966 㷜, ɑ: Tomorrow Never Knows 1967 㷜 Strawberry Fields Forever 1968 ɑ: Happiness Is A Warm Gun 1969 㷜 One After 909 1971 ɑ: How? 10 1971 㷜 Jealous Guy 1972 ɑ: Sunday Bloody Sunday 1972 ɑ: Attica State 1973 ɑ: Mind Games 2.2.3 want In contrast to the two items reviewed above, the British [ 㷜 ] has the majority for this item in the songs. Its proportion is 75 % in total, and is higher in the UK songs（ some 86.6%）, decreases in the US period to some 55.5 %（ see Figure 5 and Table 5）.

JOHN LENNON: A MAN AND ARTIST UNFULFIILLED? Streszczenie: Niniejszy esej jest próbą syntetycznego, poniekąd psychoanalitycznego, ujęcia biografii Johna Lennona, zarówno jako ewidentnie zagubionego geniu- sza muzyki popularnej, jak i ofiary chłopięcego kompleksu zaniedbania przez uwielbianą matkę – później wysublimowanego w kompleks kobiecej dominacji i przeniesionego na Yoko Ono, jego drugą żonę i awangardową „muzę.” W re- zultacie ich związek, w znacznym stopniu wyidealizowany przez media, został ukazany w kontekście relacji Lennona z innymi kobietami (na przykład z ciotką Mimi), sprzecznych cech jego osobowości oraz ewolucji światopoglądowej i ar- tystycznej, która doprowadziła najpierw do dramatycznego rozdarcia między popowym supergwiazdorstwem a awangardowym artystostwem, ostatecznie zaś – do faktycznej niemocy twórczej w ciągu ostatnich pięciu lat życia. Per- John Lennon – człowiek i artysta niespełniony? spektywę komparatystyczną dla tych rozważań wyznaczać będą biografie Elvisa Presleya i Micka Jaggera. Słowa kluczowe: kompleks, trauma, dominacja, „krzyk pierwotny”, gwiaz- dorstwo, artyzm, niespełnienie Summary: In this essay, the author attempts at a synthetic insight into the biography of John Lennon, both as a confused genius of popular music and a victim of the childhood complex of motherly neglect: later transformed into the one of female domination and transferred onto Yoko Ono, his second wife and avant-garde “muse.” Consequently, their marriage, largely idealized by media, is shown here in the context of Lennon’s relations with other women (mainly his mother and aunt Mimi), his contradictory psychological traits and artistic/ ideological evolution that resulted in being torn between pop superstardom, avant-garde artistry and, in last five years, virtual creative impotence.

GENDER AND THE COLLABORATIVE ARTIST COUPLE by CANDICE GREATHOUSE Under the Direction of Dr. Susan Richmond ABSTRACT Through description and analysis of the balancing and intersection of gender in the col- laborative artist couples of Marina Abramović and Ulay, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, and Chris- to and Jeanne-Claude, I make evident the separation between their public lives and their pri- vate lives, an element that manifests itself in unique and contrasting ways for each couple. I study the link between gendered negotiations in these heterosexual artist couples and this divi- sion, and correlate this relationship to the evidence of problematic gender dynamics in the art- works and collaborations.

  • Mother's Forgotten Garden
    MOTHER'S FORGOTTEN GARDEN by Cory Daniel Zimmerman A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Fine Arts Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, Florida December 2008 Copyright by Cory Daniel Zimmerman 2008 ii Abstract Author: Cory Daniel Zimmerman Title: Mother’s Forgotten Garden Institution: Florida Atlantic University Thesis Advisor: Dr. Jason Schwartz Degree: Master of Fine Arts Year: 2008 The thesis proposed for my M.F.A. in creative writing is a collection of conceptual American short stories written in a variety of forms that properly suit their respective subjects. Like a handful of miscellaneous wild seeds scattered over a tilled garden, the goal of the project is to represent the wild asymmetry of Nature via a collection of unlikely companions. For this reason, the conceptual form of each story often takes root in scientific or symbolic representations of Nature (i.e. sine and cosine curves, the yin-yang, etc.). The plot of loose soil holding these collective experiments together is their earthy thematic focus—namely, the way in which Nature has been systematically backgrounded by western ideology. On occasion, a story’s conceptual focus may stray from these ecofeminist principles, but only for the purpose of leveling a more critical or satirical eye upon common American ideologies. iv Table of Contents The cosmis joke redux ......................................................................................................
