Evaluating English Worldwide project
A new website is now available outlining the goals and
methods of a group of scholars interested in the first coordinated
comparative evaluation of various regional dialects of English on a
global basis:
< http://www.otago.ac.nz/anthropology/Linguistic/Accents.html >
We come from many countries, from New Zealand to Sweden to
Singapore, and disciplines (anthropology, psychology, linguistics,
etc.), but we are working together to examine attitudes toward a
standard stimulus tape featuring female and male voices using
Southern English (RP-type), North American (Inland Northern), and
General Australian and New Zealand English accents. The website
presents our aims, methods, clips of the eight voices used, and
results from seven nations (New Zealand, Australia, England, America,
Sweden, Finland, Germany). Other samples are being collected from
Singapore, Poland, and Fiji, and we hope to recruit scholars from
other countries like Japan, China, Brazil, Nigeria, etc. Scholars
interested in becoming involved in the project are urged to contact
me at the e-mail address below.
