This paper investigates the causes and modes of post-vocalic [r] changes in the view of historical sociolinguistics using Milroy's(1992) model, which focuses on social conditions in linguistic change. Firstly, this paper gives an account of the post-vocalic [r] loss in England due to both linguistic and non-linguistic conditions. Secondly, the shift in the prestige norm [r] from British [r] loss accent to [r]-ful in New York was caused by the national power shift from the UK to the USA after World WarⅡ. Finally, this study suggests that post-vocalic [r] sound is susceptible to change depending on non-linguistic circumstances such as the change of ruling group and national power rather than linguistic circumstances.
