Subject:Eliciting minimal pairs in Maltese query

Dear Linguists,

I am a post-graduate student in linguistics doing research on
different varieties of Maltese. I need to elicit specific minimal
pairs in an informal situation in order to analyse their vowel
formants. I have been finding it very difficult to decide on the
methodology to use in eliciting this informal data, as most tasks that
could be given to participants would formalise the situation. I would
be interested in receiving any suggestions anyone might have with
respect to eliciting minimal pairs in an informal situation, that is,
in a situation where participants use dialectal varieties.

Thanking you in advance,

Flavia
