title = "Language change caught in the act: A case study of t-deletion in Frisian relative pronouns",
abstract = "This study investigates t-deletion in Frisian relative pronouns in a corpus of Frisian radio broadcasts (1966-2015), collected for training and testing a bilingual Dutch-Frisian speech recognition system. This corpus is not constructed to study language variation and change, and its limitations for that type of study will be discussed. The analyses show that until the 1970s the younger generation lead the rise of clitic /t/ in these relative pronouns, a change that was first observed at the end of the 19th century. From the 1980s onwards they reverse this change and start leading deletion of that clitic /t/. Additionally, t-deletion occurs most in non-scripted, spontaneous speech. It does not seem to play a role whether the speaker is a presenter or an interviewee/guest.",
