metadata.value: During the last decade, two competing tendencies — globalization and national identity preservation
  — produced a considerable impact on the English-speaking World. One of the consequences
  of that process was a series of drastic changes that occurred in British English. It
  became the leader of instability and variability of pronunciation standard among the Englishes
  today. Various patterns of allophonic variation of intervocalic /t/ and its substitute with allophones
  of other phonemes such as tap / flap and sibilants can be named among those changes.
  The current perceptual study aimed at determining whether tapping / flapping and spirantization
  cases can lead to phonological changes and variability of the corresponding word phonemic
  pattern. 37 stimuli in VCV sequences that represented tapping acoustically similar to
  /d/, flapping similar to /r/ and /l/, sibilants similar to /ʃ/, /ʒ/, /s/, /z/ were segmented from the
  acoustic material. 8 realizations of the following phonemes /d/, /r/, /l/, /t/, /ʃ/, /ʒ/, /s/, /z/ were
  included into the experiment as a control group. Consequently, 45 stimuli were included into
  the perceptual study. A web-site was constructed to carry out the on-line perceptual experiment
  and collect and analyze the obtained data automatically. The randomized tokens for
  listening were uploaded and a questionnaire was published on the web-site. 16 native speakers
  took part in the experiment performing a discrimination task. 272 answers were received
  from the subjects to tap-and-flap-containing tokens. Among the responses, voiced consonant
  interpretations prevailed over voiceless ones (86 % vs 14 %). 63 % out of 86 % were /d/ responses
  and 13 % and 10 % were /r/ and /l/ responses correspondingly. 288 responses were obtained
  for 18 tokens that included sibilants. Among them, only 29 % on average accounted for plosives
  while 71 % accounted for fricative sibilants. Voiceless/voiced phonological feature and
  consonant loci feature taken separately were discriminated correctly for 72 % of the tokens.
