Abstract
The results reveal indeed a shift from consonantal to vocalic realization of /ʀ/ related to age. Significant interactions arise for education, gender, region and further factors. The highest amount of consonantal realizations appears in the speech of older male speakers living in the Centre of Luxembourg with a high education and good proficiency in both French and German, while most speakers of the young and middle generation realize /ʀ/ word-finally in most cases as a vowel.

N2 - The present paper analyses the distribution of consonantal and vocalic realizations of word-final /ʀ/ (e.g. Dier [di:χ] vs. [di:ə] ‘door’) in Luxembourgish, a West-Germanic language with strong contact with French and German. While the literature suspects an ongoing sound change with the consonantal realization decreasing with age, this investigation analyses /ʀ/-vocalization for the first time from a broader sociophonetic point of view. Focusing on language contact as a possible explanatory factor, it also includes gender, educational and regional factors.The results reveal indeed a shift from consonantal to vocalic realization of /ʀ/ related to age.
