Coronal stop deletion (henceforth 'TD Deletion') is the paradigm sociolinguistic variable. It
was first described in African American English (Labov et al., 1968) as a rule whereby word
final/Ct/and/Cd/clusters simplify by deleting the coronal stop. It has since been found in
many dialects and varieties of English (eg, White Philadelphian English (Guy, 1991),
Chicano English (Santa Ana, 1992), Jamaican Creole (Patrick, 1991), Scottish and British
English (Tagliamonte and Temple, 2005; Smith et al., 2009), inter alia). Aside from the very …

Coronal stop deletion (henceforth ‘TD Deletion’) is the paradigm sociolinguistic variable. It was first described in African American English (Labov et al., 1968) as a rule whereby word final/Ct/and/Cd/clusters simplify by deleting the coronal stop. It has since been found in many dialects and varieties of English (eg, White Philadelphian English (Guy, 1991), Chicano English (Santa Ana, 1992), Jamaican Creole (Patrick, 1991), Scottish and British English (Tagliamonte and Temple, 2005; Smith et al., 2009), inter alia).
Aside from the very regular phonological and phonetic factors which condition whether TD Deletion applies, morphological structure also appears to have an effect. The three morphological categories of primary interest are monomorphemes, regular past tense verbs and semiweak past tense verbs. These categories are defined in (1).
