We investigate l-sandhi in English, specifically the changes that occur in alveolar contact when word-final /l/ appears in a range of connected speech contexts. Analysis of EPG data for Scottish Standard English and Southern Standard British English speakers shows that there is wide variation in the rate of vocalisation and in the extent of alveolar contact, and that whether the following word is lexically onsetless or not is not enough to predict how /l/ behaves. We conclude that resyllabification is not sufficient as a mechanism for conditioning this alternation.
