Focusing on the Scouse accent, this seminar paper examines the evolution of its consonantal characteristics over three centuries and speculates on their future trajectory—whether they may regress, stabilize, or transform under various influences. The analysis includes real speech samples and electronic measurements to illustrate key features of the accent, providing a comprehensive understanding of its phonetic and phonological aspects. The discussion aims to shed light on the dynamic nature of this regional accent within the context of linguistic studies.
