Kokkuvõte	Acoustic phonetic analysis is the empirical measurement workflow at the heart of experimental phonetics: it records speech, segments and labels the signal, and extracts quantitative acoustic parameters — the waveform, the spectrogram, fundamental frequency (F0), the formants, intensity, segment duration, and voice onset time (VOT). These measurements are interpreted through the source-filter theory of speech production, which models the output sound as a glottal source spectrum shaped by the transfer function of the vocal tract, turning the audible speech stream into reproducible numbers that can be compared, modelled, and related to articulation.	Variationist sociolinguistics is the quantitative study of how linguistic variation is structured by social and linguistic factors. Pioneered by William Labov in the 1960s and 1970s, it treats alternative ways of saying the same thing — the 'linguistic variable' — as systematically conditioned by speaker characteristics (class, age, sex, ethnicity), stylistic context, and the surrounding linguistic environment, and it uses statistical modeling of natural speech to reveal the orderly heterogeneity beneath apparent randomness.
