The Archive of Traditional Appalachian Speech (ATAS) is a long-range project to compile in two formats (text and audio) a one-million-word corpus of vernacular speech recorded in the 1970's and 1980's from seven areas of Appalachia, in six states including southern West Virginia, Eastern Kentucky, Southwest Virginia, East Tennessee, Western North Carolina, and northeast Georgia. This award will support completion of the first comprehensive stage of ATAS. Approximately 280,000 words from fifty native speakers recorded in four of the seven areas will be transcribed, re-audited, and proofed to ensure optimal reliability and conformity to conventions standard in the field of corpus linguistics. Transcriptions and associated historical information will be mounted on websites maintained at the University of South Carolina and at East Tennessee State University.The resulting searchable electronic corpus will be an invaluable resource for local and family historians, linguists, folklorists, and other scholars. ATAS will be the largest bank of easily and publicly accessible conversational data for any regional or social variety of American English. The transcribed recordings will represent a comprehensive resource on the diverse lifestyles, character and experiences of rural Appalachian Americans born around the turn of the twentieth century. This project will help dispel negative stereotypes of the region, and for those who live in Appalachia, it will be a valuable community asset documenting their speech and way of life.

传统阿巴拉契亚语音档案 (ATAS) 是一个长期项目，以两种格式（文本和音频）编译 100 万字的白话语料库，记录于 1970 年代和 1980 年代，来自阿巴拉契亚七个地区，包括西弗吉尼亚州南部、肯塔基州东部、弗吉尼亚州西南部、田纳西州东部、北卡罗来纳州西部和佐治亚州东北部等六个州。该奖项将支持 ATAS 第一综合阶段的完成。来自七个领域中四个领域的 50 个母语人士录制的约 280,000 个单词将被转录、重新审核和校对，以确保最佳可靠性并符合语料库语言学领域的惯例标准。转录和相关历史信息将发布在南卡罗来纳大学和东田纳西州立大学维护的网站上。由此产生的可搜索电子语料库将成为当地和家族历史学家、语言学家、民俗学家和其他学者的宝贵资源。 ATAS 将成为最大的可轻松公开访问的任何地区或社会美式英语会话数据银行。这些转录的录音将代表二十世纪之交出生的阿巴拉契亚乡村美国人的多样化生活方式、性格和经历的综合资源。该项目将有助于消除对该地区的负面刻板印象，对于居住在阿巴拉契亚的人们来说，它将成为记录他们的言论和生活方式的宝贵社区资产。
