Subject: Call for Participation: Speakers of Upper Swabian (Oberschwäbisch)


I am looking for adult speakers of Upper Swabian who grew up in or
near the county of Ravensburg (Oberschwaben) in Germany.
The study investigates the AM-Progressive in Upper Swabian, such as:
'I be am schaffa.' Participants will evaluate sentences recorded in
Upper Swabian. I am looking for speakers born between 1938-1980.
For any questions, please contact Bettina Spreng, University of
Saskatchewan. bettina.spreng at usask.ca
Please share with anyone you think might be suitable.
