As far as connected speech goes, his dialect has some minor differences, but is largely similar to NAE. Most of the differences occur at word boundaries. These are most often following a glottalized final /t/, but there are examples with other features as well. At these points the speaker cuts off his airflow and doesn’t fully connect his speech.
This takes a little bit of concentration to do in real time, but noticed that these breaks often precede a stressed word, so it’s possible to think of them as aspects of his stress pattern as well.
Invite the leaders into a meeting, at Islas High School. We outline the rollout functions of the police and sent out the sot. We didn’t deny anything, we just put everything on the table. We decided to work with them to bring about changes. So what we realized, for the last two years, we don’t have a murder in Payne Avenue. Right? And, um, when you look at Majesty Garden also, the year that the Ratbat gang was so dominant, the amount of killing and shootings. We foot patrols in the area, we put mobile patrols and a supervisor ensure that the police are there on a 24 basis. So we have approximately 71 gangs in 2014, now we have at least 51. So the tremendous success is to dismantle these gangs, and we’re not going to stop there, we’re gonna continue, we’re gonna have matches, we’re gonna have meetings, we’re gonna have things wit the youts, like domino tournaments, football tournaments, and for the young ladies, trying to come up with some netball tournaments. And of course we put tremendous strain on the police to come up with these resources, but the fact that we are doing it we’re just gonna work for the betterment.
At the end of this recording, I’ve extemporized on the following question: Why is it important to provide these resources for the youth?

Next time I’ll focus on stress, which builds pretty well on this topic.
