It is possible to evaluate the specific features of the Hong Kong accent by passing them through the ‘intelligibility filter’ provided by ELF research: this procedure resembles the technique outlined in Brown (1991), but with reference to empirical data on intelligibility. Of the features identified by Hung and Deterding et al., the following would at first sight seem to be unproblematic for international intelligibility: the dental fricative substitutions (usually [f] for [0] and [d] for [d]), dark [1] vocalisations and the merging of the [se] and [e] vowels. While I do not wish to examine in
Similar arguments can be raised in favour of ignoring dark [1] vocalisation, which also occurs frequently in LI accents (as well as in NVEs such as Singaporean English). Bauer (1986) found that in New Zealand English, vocalised [1] was so prevalent that many people could not make a dark [1] preconsonantally (in Shockey 2003:35). Interestingly, such substitutions may also be indications of language change on a wider scale. Shockey (2003:112) notes that modern Portuguese shows final [1] vocalisation to be ‘a living process’: Spanish mal, Portuguese mau.
