Audiotapes of English dialects

[Judith VanderWoude]

A book and audiotape I really like on British dialects is "English accents and
dialects: an introduction to social and regional varieties of English in the
British Isles" by Arthur Hughes and Peter Trudgill.  You can purchase a
separate accompanying audiotape that includes conversations transcribed in the
text.

Dear Infochildes,

I've been asked by a non-linguist who is trying to organize
a program on language awareness for an audiotape of
different English dialects.  (She's in the US, but I guess
if there's one of British dialects, that might be useful,
too.)

She's already familiar with the video American Tongues,
which would have been my first response for her.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Barbara
