Abstract
This research investigates the occurrence of dialect leveling in the gelet-speaking area, focusing on a specific variable: the first vowel in the faʕʕa:l / faʕʕa:la pattern nominal forms. The primary objectives include examining the direction of leveling, exploring factors influencing or contributing to the process, identifying the gender associated with this phenomenon, and the age group where leveling is most prominent. Data collection involved interviews and a picture description task. The findings reveal that leveling is indeed happening within the gelet variety, targeting the urban variety. Additionally, mobility, marriage, and prestige emerge as key factors in influencing dialect leveling, with female speakers leading this process more than male speakers. Furthermore, the study indicates that younger individuals are more inclined towards leveling their speech compared to middle-aged and older individuals.
