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.

传统阿巴拉契亚语言档案（ATAS）是一个长期项目，以两种格式（文本和音频）汇编了一个百万单词的方言语料库，这些语料库记录于20世纪70年代和80年代，来自阿巴拉契亚的七个地区，包括西弗吉尼亚南部、肯塔基东部、弗吉尼亚西南部、田纳西州东部、北卡罗来纳州西部和乔治亚州东北部。该合同将支持完成ATAS的第一个综合阶段。在七个领域中的四个领域，将对来自50位母语人士的约28万个单词进行转录、重新审核和校对，以确保最佳的可靠性和符合语料库语言学领域的惯例标准。成绩单和相关的历史信息将被安装在南卡罗来纳大学和东田纳西州立大学维护的网站上。由此产生的可搜索的电子语料库将成为当地和家庭历史学家、语言学家、民俗学家和其他学者的宝贵资源。ATAS将成为最大的银行，为任何地区或社会的美国英语提供方便和公开访问的会话数据。这些经过转录的录音将代表一个全面的资源，关于20世纪之交出生的阿巴拉契亚农村美国人的不同生活方式、性格和经历。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来说，它将成为记录他们的语言和生活方式的宝贵社区资产。
