THE SOCIAL ORIGINS OF SOUND CHANGE11The research reported here was supported by the National Science Foundation under contracts to the University of Pennsylvania SOC-750024-1 and BNC-76-15421. A more complete account of this research is available in W. Labov, A. Bower, D. Hindle, E. Dayton, A. Kroch, M. Lenning, and D. Schiffrin, Social Determinants of Linguistic Change, Technical Progress Report to the NSF (1980). The work reported here is the joint product of these authors and a number of others, most notably Arvilla Payne, Bruce Johnson, Shana Poplack, Gregory Guy, Sally Boyd, and Anthony Kroch. Kroch's study of the upper class of Philadelphia, supported by a post-doctoral fellowship from the National Institute of Mental Health [MH-05536], forms an integral part of the data that this report is based on. Kroch has made a number of substantial contributions to the analysis of the Philadelphia data and the general issues of sound change, which are gratefully acknowledged here. A condensed version of this article was prepared for the Ninth International Congress of Linguists at Copenhagen, August 1978
