Interviews

These recordings were made for the Pittsburgh Speech
and Society Project, directed by Professor Barbara Johnstone of the Department of English at Carnegie Mellon University and Professor Scott F. Kiesling of the Department of Linguistics at the University of Pittsburgh. Between 2003 and 2007, people from four Pittsburgh-area
neighborhoods were interviewed for the project,
a sociolinguistic study of Pittsburgh speech. These conversational interviews were based on an interview protocol that was designed to elicit people’s most unselfconscious interview speech as well as to find out about their social and economic lives and their attitudes about Pittsburgh and the local dialect. The people whose interviews are part of this collection agreed,in writing, to have these recordings archived, under their real names. The consent forms they signed are on file in the Archives Service Center, University Library System, University of Pittsburgh where the permanent audio collection resides.
