Budapest Sociolinguistic Interview

[curt fredric woolhiser]

Kedves SEELANGosok!

A Hungarian colleague asked me to bring the following information to your
attention:


THE BUDAPEST SOCIOLINGUISTIC INTERVIEW ON THE INTERNET

The Budapest Sociolinguistic Interview (BSI) project is a long-term
sociolinguistic project aiming to provide solid empirical data about the
varieties of Hungarian spoken in Budapest. About 600 hours of tape-recorded
data were collected in a carefully compiled sociolinguistic interview which
was administered to a 250 strong representative sample of Budapest
speakers. The transcript of one complete sample interview is now available
on the Internet at http://www.nytud.hu/buszi/bsi.htm. In addition to the
transcript of the data you will find electronic versions of the Working
Papers in Hungarian Sociolinguistics, which provide full documentation of
the BSI project.
