  • Volunteers Wanted for Accent Research Study

    Do you speak an identifiable or ‘strong’ version of accents/dialects from the following places: 

    • India (Hindi) 

    • Northern Ireland 

    • South Wales 

    • Minnesota 

    If so, would you be willing to make a recording of your speech for analysis in this study and (optionally) for sharing in a dialect archive? If you are interested, you can either:  

    1) Attend a 10 minute interview on UConn’s Storrs campus to record your voice and fill out a quick background information form (to give context to your accent)  

    2) Self-record and email sound file and forms in. Email jennifer.scapetis@uconn.edu for a self-record pack. 

    Email Assistant Professor (Drama) jennifer.scapetis@uconn.edu if you have any questions or concerns.  

    This study was approved by the UConn IRB, Protocol #H19-021. Approved on April 5, 2019.
