The Texas Czech Legacy Project

Fri, November 10, 3:45 to 5:30pm, Marriott Downtown Chicago, Floor: 10th, O'Hare

Abstract

The Texas Czech Legacy Project’s open-access digital archive of speech recordings collected from Texans of Czech and Moravian descent aspires to become part of a corpus of diasporic dialects of Czech around the world. While Texas Czech transcriptions must accurately reflect the blend of original/modified dialectal and contact-language features, the archive must be accessible to Texas Czechs whose voices they represent. The challenges involved will be discussed. ​

NOTE: to be considered as part of the "TRANSNATIONAL/MULTILINGUAL DIGITAL PROJECTS" lightning round, organized by Jessie Labov
