Thus, voiceless fleece diphthongizes most vigorously, because all three dimensions are under pressure. Dress is lower than fleece for the older speakers and for the younger, male, professional speakers. Nearly all speakers have voiced dress longer than voiceless fleece, and for a nontrivial number of speakers, voiceless dress is also longer. Compared with dress, fleece has a clear on-glide for all speaker groups and reaches its target frequency later. The contrast in diphthongization, then, must surely be playing a perceptual role in demarcating the identity of voiceless fleece. The" ethnographic facts" are indeed our golden fleece. The primary driver of our effect is the reaction of fleece before voiceless consonants diphthongizing to avoid overlap with dress before voiced consonants. The diphthongization of fleece is most advanced in tokens that are followed by voiceless codas. However, some individual speakers in the younger, nonprofessional female group do pronounce dress higher than fleece. Are those speakers who are most innovative in terms of dress/fleece overlap also the speakers who produce the most diphthongal realizations of fleece?
