This paper presents findings of a descriptive study that suggest that the deletion of high vowels, a process that is generally associated with Laurentian French, may have begun to spread across francophone regions of New Brunswick. The study examines the pronunciation of /t, d/ + /i, y/ sequences in a small number of lexical items, with a focus on vowel deletion.
