Query: British Linguistics Projects

[Mai Kuha]

I don't have any suggestions for the specific area you mention, but Wray,
Trott, and Bloomer's 1998 book "Projects in linguistics: A practical guide
to researching language" might be a good resource for students, as it tends
to target readers in England--that is, many of the examples, explanations,
and project ideas are set in a British context.
