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

利用Hiberno英语演讲录音带调查的数字化录音，该项目将创建一个开放获取资源，用于数字地图和发现北方爱尔兰英语。该项目将开发系统的和理论上知情的互动资源，用于学术用途，公众参与，遗产可持续性和专业发展。该项目将促进，保护和未来证明的TRSHES，使它和北方爱尔兰英语公众的突出。 该项目是与北方爱尔兰国家博物馆合作开展的，因为它们拥有与TRSHES有关的物理数据，并完成了所有原始记录的数字化。 该项目将部分通过创造性实践（创建数据库和相关互动网站）进行，部分通过对上述数据库中发现的语言特征进行定性分析进行。目前，来自TRSHES的594个录音只能以原始格式访问：小时长的文件。该项目将使这些记录能够在可搜索的数据库中查阅和比较。 它还将涉及现代实地调查，以定位和重新采访原始研究中的发言者的形式。

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.
