... in a research project having to do with dialect ...
We are doing research on different accents in "North American" (US and Canadian) English. We know that Americans and Canadians have a great deal in common in the way they speak, but there are also differences. These differences are influenced by geography, gender, age, ethnicity, and many other factors. In order to study the ways that North American accents differ amongst each other, we have put together a survey of common words, and we'd like you to participate!We'd like recordings from anyone who has grown up speaking English in the US or Canada. We would like to get information about as many different types of North American English as possible. The more diverse our participants, the more representative it will be of the ways Americans speak. There are no right or wrong answers in this survey. We're interested all all the different varieties of English on this continent!

The general consensus about last week's world accent test is that it was very difficult, but also quite fun. Everyone also wanted to know the answers to the quiz. I'm not going to make it that easy for you, but at the end of the post I will offer a way for you to figure out which is which.

Last week's Casual Fridays study was inspired partially by reports we see in the mainstream media so often, proclaiming that Americans are ignorant about the rest of the world. If the rest of the world really is better than Americans at geography, then maybe they can beat us even on our home turf.…
Talking with someone comes so naturally that we forget sometimes how skilful it is. Rhythms of conversation and cues of grammar need to be judged so that people can take their turns at talking without cutting off their partner or without leaving pregnant pauses. The former is rude, the latter…

Speaking in tones? Blame it on your genes:
People who carry particular variants of two genes involved in brain development tend to speak nontonal languages such as English, while those with a different genetic…
Should I be skeptical about a survey that assumes I could have grown up speaking English in Canada, in a high school with a zip code or city, state?
I've spent 40 years around Philly where I was born. Then there were a couple of years in CO and 10 years in Silicon Valley. Does it matter that I may have modified my speech patterns by spending so much time from my birth location? I also used to redily pick up southern redneck when using a CB...
I think these are questions that are typical for a survey of this type. Ultimately, there is more variation in the population than the categorical variables suggest, but that does not mean the variables can't be managed. Having a "Now (with X= age) and High school" dichotomy in this sort of thing is common. In fact, that may make these survey results comparable to other data.
