     ‘For instance, a German woman stationed at the Rothera Research Station   
   began   
     to speak like a native English speaker as she talked more and more with her   
     colleagues from the UK.’   
      
     [...]   
      
     ‘The incipient linguistic changes observed in Antarctica, while captured   
   over   
     a brief six-month period, are not without precedent. They represent the first   
     moments of a process that has played out countless times throughout human   
     history, leading to the diversification of languages and the birth of new   
     dialects.   
      
     While the “Antarctic accent” may sound surprising, it’s not without   
     precedent. History is full of cases where small, isolated groups of people   
     forged entirely new ways of speaking.’   
      
   Glad it has been documented. The article has plenty of filler, which is not a   
   shock.
