Description

The elicited speech samples (divided into word-list and quantity material) consists of about 50 words chosen to represent all (known) Swedish vowels, consonants, and certain consonant combinations as well as quantity. The vowels mostly occur in a phonetically balanced context, mainly a dental/alveolar one. Mono- or disyllabic words are repeated about thre times,and quantity words about five times. For some dialects, additional words were elicited in order to test dialect-specific pronunciation distinctions. Whenever possible, the words were not elicited by reading or repeating but by memory activation, e.g. by filling in the missing word of a sentence (e.g. "When you receive a gift it is polite to say ___.") or opposites (e.g. "The opposite of 'here' is ___."), etc. Simple and obvious contexts and target words were used as far as possible in order to avoid unwanted side-effects, such as speakers who believe they are participating in an knowledge test. The recordings were made in the consultant's home environment. Date of recording given is guaranteed to be correct only for year., Abstract The main objectives of this project are to analyse and document the phonetics and phonology as well as the morphology and syntax of Estonian Swedish. The project will bring together researchers of different linguistic background. The methodology used will be based on expertise from previous research projects on Swedish dialects (SweDia2000, SveDiaSyn/ScanDiaSyn, Simulekt, Vokart) but in addition to elicitation of new data the project will also pool together and analyse already existing data in various archives. The project will be connected to other dialect projects in Scandinavia and Europe Method A selection of dialects was chosen in such a way as to enable phonetic and phonological analyses of a broad spectrum of segment inventories (vowels and consonants) and prosodic systems (intonation, word accent and quantity). Regionally conditioned voice qualities (phonation types) were also considered. The recordings usually took place in the informants’ homes. The recordings contained both spontaneously produced and elicited speech materials. The spontaneous material consisted of interviews with one informant at a time. The elicited material consisted of words, phrases and sentences created with the purpose of documenting dialectal variation in segmental and prosodic features., Swedish and Estonian was spoken throughout the session, The elicited speech samples (divided into word-list and quantity material) consists of about 50 words chosen to represent all (known) Swedish vowels, consonants, and certain consonant combinations as well as quantity.
