## One Speaker Two Dialects (1S2D) ## The 1S2D corpus consists of recordings of sociolinguistic interviews with speakers from the north east of Scotland, male and female, aged from 12 to 82. The speakers are grouped according to age as preadolescent (12-14), young (16-25), mid (28-55) and older (69-83). Participants were chosen due to having stayed in north east Scotland all of their lives. The speakers were recorded as part of a project investigating bidialectism, and were mostly recorded twice, once being interviewed by a local speaker and once by a speaker from southern England. A subset of 40 speakers has been measured by the SPADE project, which had been aligned using FAVE by the Data Guardian. **Number of speakers:** 40, 21F. \ **Hours of speech:** Approx 70 \ **Years recorded:** 2013 \ **Data Guardian:** Jennifer Smith \ **Speaker dimensions:** Gender, age group, age, dialect. ### Corpus References ### ESRC Grant no ES/K000861/1 \ Smith, J. & Holmes Elliott, S.
