GSP Research Club

Summary

We conducted a survey asking scholars (a) to divide a map of Kentucky into 5 or 6 regions, (b) to indicate which region they call home, (c) to rate on a scale of 1 to 10 how ‘correct’ or ‘pleasant’ they think the speech in each region is, and (d) to note how confident they are of that rating. We are in the process of coding the data and figuring out different ways to extract information from them.
