Subject: Survey on Phonetic Trends in Global Accents of English

 
My doctoral research is in the area of phonetics and I am looking at (1)
English accent changes over the years and (2) regional varieties of English
accents.
In collaboration with my seminar students at my university, I am gathering
pronunciation data from
(1) English native speakers (for comparing the current trend with the data
gathered some decades ago),
 and 
(2) Non-native English speakers (for sharing and getting used to varieties of
accents, which will lead to easier communication).

Could you please visit one of the three websites below and provide us with the
recording of your pronunciation?

1. https://noriko-nakanishi.com/survey/index.php?gakuseki_no=B0001
2. https://noriko-nakanishi.com/survey/index.php?gakuseki_no=B0002
3. https://noriko-nakanishi.com/survey/index.php?gakuseki_no=B0003

- The only difference between these three sites is the word sets that appear
in each section, so please choose any one of the three.

There will be 358 words and sentences, divided into three sections, and it
will take 10-15 minutes to finish each section. At the end of each section,
you will be asked if you would like to go on to the next section. 

The sound data will be securely processed and uploaded to our website "Sounds
of Englishes (https://noriko-nakanishi.com/sounds/), accompanied by
information including your language background, gender, and the year you were
born. All the other personal information regarding your identity will be kept
confidential.

I would appreciate your cooperation in the recording, also if you could
forward this message to your friends. Anybody over 18 years of age who can
read English words is welcome. Thank you very much.
