I am familiar with /ˈpɹɑsɛsɪz/ the ending sounding like the English verb “is”. But in the last decade I hear /ˈpɹɒsɛˌsiːz/ the ending sounding more like the English verb “ease”.

Given my anecdotal observations the impression I get is it is people who want to sound intelligent and are generalizing a foreign pluralization rule.

My question is has anyone done any research on this change. I would love to read research rather than my own arbitrary experience.
