Motivation
Ad hoc system motivated by sheer laziness.
Goal is to support a study is to characterize the phonology of a Regional Italian variety (Aquilano) under the influence of not only Standard Italian but also two local dialects.
Focal Question: Is the phonological variation observed better modeled as a small number of varieties with inherent variation or a larger number of invariant varieties?
Overlap with this workshop
- empirical analysis of recorded interview data from
- live informants speaking in a linguistic variety whose
- underlying grammatical structure is not fully known &
- need for infrastructure to support analysis and collaboration
