Trudgill (1974) in The Social Differentiation of English in Norwic basically made use of questionnaires.

The questionnaire was about schools and different parts of Norwich. It also include

different speech styles of word lists, word pairs, questions about how to identify local words and questions about Norwich's different cultures and attitudes. This study found clear social stratification (by class) of variables including dropping of final s in thirdperson verbs, -in instead of ing, glottal stops instead of /t/, hdropping, and vowel qualities in pass, part. However, Social Stratification of () and (I) in Cebu City Hotels does not use questionaires. It is purely an interacting observation which only investigates the pronunciation of the informants. Labov (1963) had also a study on Marthas Vineyard which

focused on pronunciation of /au/ (as in out, house trout) and /ai/ (as in while, pie, might) and he noticed that when pronouncing these diphthongs, locals had a tendency to start it with [u, i]. The

gathering of data was done in various ways. First was by interviewing and talking to 69 informants spontaneously about different topics that has words with the vowels stated earlier. Second was by

recording of textbook readings by school pupils. Lastly, personal speakers is Robinson (1996) and study on The relationship Black was and found between White that
