DYNAMIC DIALECTS

About the project

This online resource is a product of the collaboration between researchers at six Scottish Universities: the University of Glasgow, Queen Margaret University Edinburgh, Edinburgh Napier University, the University of Strathclyde, the University of Edinburgh and the University of Aberdeen.

To date, the resource has been created in two phases:

  1. a Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland grant (2011-2013) funded the initial development and design of a single resource;
  2. an Arts and Humanities Research Council grant (2014-15) funded the extension into two sister resources, Seeing Speech and Dynamic Dialects;
