Description

In the prosody material, word accents and focus were varied and elicited using two-word phrases consisting of an amount (10, 100) and a currency ($, SEK, DM, £), i.e. numbers and currency symbols in order to avoid reading from a text. During the recording session, cards with written amounts and currency symbols were used. The subjects were asked to "read" from the cards, which always consisted of one amount card and one currency card. Sometimes a carrier phrase was used, e.g. "I want 10 $.". By switching one card at a time, the idea was to elicit focus (e.g. "I don't want 10 $, I want 100 $." or "I don't want 10 $, I want 10 £."). Every combination of cards was shown at least twice. In addition, a number of compound words were elicited by showing different money bills, e.g. 1 $, 100 SEK, etc. A third person was usually present and managing the recording equipment, but without interfering in any other way. The recordings were made in the consultant's home environment. Date of recording given is guaranteed to be correct only for year., Abstract The main objectives of this project are to analyse and document the phonetics and phonology as well as the morphology and syntax of Estonian Swedish. The project will bring together researchers of different linguistic background. The methodology used will be based on expertise from previous research projects on Swedish dialects (SweDia2000, SveDiaSyn/ScanDiaSyn, Simulekt, Vokart) but in addition to elicitation of new data the project will also pool together and analyse already existing data in various archives. The project will be connected to other dialect projects in Scandinavia and Europe Method A selection of dialects was chosen in such a way as to enable phonetic and phonological analyses of a broad spectrum of segment inventories (vowels and consonants) and prosodic systems (intonation, word accent and quantity). Regionally conditioned voice qualities (phonation types) were also considered. The recordings usually took place in the informants’ homes. The recordings contained both spontaneously produced and elicited speech materials. The spontaneous material consisted of interviews with one informant at a time. The elicited material consisted of words, phrases and sentences created with the purpose of documenting dialectal variation in segmental and prosodic features., Swedish and Estonian was spoken throughout the session, In the prosody material, word accents and focus were varied and elicited using two-word phrases consisting of an amount (10, 100) and a currency ($, SEK, DM, £), i.e. numbers and currency symbols in order to avoid reading from a text.
