Subject: Russian Speech Sample Repository 


The Global Russian Language repository is an educational resource that
provides free access to recorded speech samples produced by a variety
of Russian-language speakers.  While created as a tool for language
educators and learners, this resource also provides potential research
opportunities for linguists, pedagogues, and specialists on the
relationship of language and culture. The site features participant
readings and narrations of a given text, along with prompts for
interested researchers to request access to an additional text and
participant responses to linguistic background questionnaires. In its
approach, this project attempts to document the idea that Russian,
like other post-colonial languages, showcases a multiplicity of usages
that draw into question the notion of a centralized standard. With
thirty-eight current participants, the project does not provide a
comprehensive sample of speakers or responses, but contributes to
decoupling the relationship between nation and language and to
clarifying aspects of post-colonial language usage such as vehicular
languages, language “ownership,” and language and identity.
