Eavesdropping on the Past: language variation through the preservation and promotion of historical audio recordings

使用Hiberno英语语音磁带录音调查的数字化录音，该项目将创建一个开放获取的资源，用于数字测绘和发现北爱尔兰英语。该项目将为学术用途、公众参与、遗产可持续性和专业发展开发系统的和在理论上了解情况的互动资源。该项目将推广、保存和未来证明TRSHES，使其和北爱尔兰英语成为公众关注的焦点。该项目是与北爱尔兰国家博物馆合作进行的，因为它们持有与TRSHES有关的物理数据，并完成了所有原始录音的数字化。该项目将部分通过创造性的做法(建立一个数据库和相关的互动网站)和部分通过对上述数据库中发现的语言特征进行定性分析来实施。目前，来自TRSHES的594个录音只能以原始格式访问：数小时长的文件。该项目将使录音可在一个可搜索的数据库中进行访问和比较。它还将包括通过寻找和重新采访最初研究中的发言者的形式进行的现代实地工作。

Using the digitized recordings of the Tape Recorded Survey of Hiberno English speech, this project will create an open access resource for digitally mapping and discovering Northern Irish English. The project will develop systematic and theoretically informed interactive resources for academic use, public engagement, heritage sustainability and professional development. The project will promote, preserve and future proof the TRSHES, bringing it and Northern Irish English to public prominence. The project is carried out in collaboration with the National Museums of Northern Ireland, as they hold the physical data pertaining to the TRSHES and they completed the digitization of all the original recordings. The project will be carried out in part via creative practice (the creation of a database and associated interactive website) and in part qualitative analysis of linguistic features discovered in the aforementioned database. Currently the 594 recordings from the TRSHES are only accessible in the original format : hours long files. This project will make the recordings accessible and comparable in a searchable database. It will also involve modern fieldwork in the form of locating and re-interviewing speakers from the original study.
