Bearing in mind that speakers who are not familiar with the use of weak forms are likely to have difficulty understanding speakers who do use the weak forms, as well as the need to avoid sounding unnatural before the competent users of weak forms, this study sets out to investigate and characterize the phonological use of weak forms by educated Igbo speakers of English with focus on pronouns across social variables of age and gender.	cache/ajells-1999.pdf	txt/ajells-1999.txt
