I am an assitant professor of English at Valladolid University. I am
doing research into phraseology in the field of LSP.  Could someone
facilitate me some bibliographical references in this field?  Thank
you.

I recently began making field recordings in DAT format using a Tascam
DA-P1 portable recorder.  Just last week a colleague of mine who also
does linguistic field work told that he had decided against making
digital recordings because, he claimed, they distort speakers' voices.
Although I hadn't noticed this before, his comment prompted me to
compare analog and digital recordings I'd made of the same speaker.  I
was surprised and somewhat disconcerted to find that there was,
indeed, a pretty noticeable difference between the two.  I'm not sure
just how to describe the difference, but in a general way I'd say the
speaker's voice sounded less natural on the DAT recording, and
somewhat lower than I recall it to have been.
 
I'd be interested in knowing if anyone else who has used DAT recordings has
noticed this problem.  Please reply directly to me, and I'll post a summary
if there's sufficient response.
