LING 441-Research ProjectSociolinguistic Project Instructions

7. Overview
· This assignment is designed to give you experience conducting
a sociolinguistic field interview.
· You will interview a native speaker of any dialect of English
or native of another language, but he/she must be able to speak
English fluently or native-like and conduct the interview in
English.
· You may also choose to focus on ANY language other than
English (e.g. Spanish, Tagalog, ASL, Armenian...). But, in this
latter case, you must also be a native speaker of that language
and be ready to transcribe and translate your interview and
report to English.
· You’ll perform a linguistic analysis of the subject’s dialect
and investigate the speaker's attitudes toward specific linguistic
issues relevant to the use of English/Other language in his/her
U.S. community.
Finding a Participant
· Your subject, or informant, must be at least 18 years of age.
· Potential informants include relatives, friends, classmates,
people who live in your residence, and co-workers.
Procedure
· Your interview should last about one hour (although it might
be longer or slightly shorter) and ideally should be audio-
recorded (or you may want to video-record for ASL).
· Use any recorder (never mind the quality, anything that
records will do, including your cell phone). If you are
knowledgeable and have the technology, you may also record
directly into a laptop computer.
· Although you will be recording the interview, you should also
take written notes, which will provide helpful when writing
your project report.
· If you do not have a recording device and if you think it would
be impossible for you to get a hold of one without spending
money, then it’s okay to just take notes.

8. · Obtain permission to audio record your informant. Tell your
speaker that you are conducting an interview for a Linguistics
class and do not reveal (at least at the beginning) that the object
of inquiry is the speaker's language. Tell your interviewee that
his/her identity will remain confidential. IMPORTANT: make
sure you have the agreement of your informant, surreptitious
recording is unethical!
· As you start the interview, try to make the informant feel as
comfortable as possible. First collect information regarding the
person's background (see questions in the Interview Format).
Remember, you don't want your participant to be conscious of
the language s/he uses.
· At this point, you would like to elicit a neutral or non-
emotional style of speech. Feel free to interact with the
interviewee. Smile and nod while pretending to take notes on
the content of the conversation. What you are really writing
down are any dialectal features that call your attention.
· Once you have gathered enough background information, see
if you can get the interviewee to "style shift" by introducing a
more emotional topic. For example, ask your informant to
recount a near-death experience s/he may have had (see Labov
for details). You could pursue controversial or emotional topics
such as the war in Iraq, the presidential elections, illegal
immigration, same-sex marriages, etc. Spend the next 20
minutes or longer on this part of the interview.
· For the next part of the interview, directly ask questions
regarding variation. (See Interview Format.) This is NOT meant
to teach the interviewee what a dialect is but to get an idea of
what people think or know about dialects in general.
· Finalize the interview by giving your interviewee a chance to
include anything else s/he feels is important for you to know.
Writing Your Project Report.
· Write the results of your interview in the form of an essay. Do
not do a question and answer format--that is your transcript,

9. which will be a word-for-word record of the interview in
standard orthography and which will be appended to your essay.
· Your essay should provide insight and analysis of the
interview and the informant. (Do not use the participant's real
name; use initials or a pseudonym.) Begin with a brief sketch of
your participant's life story (gender, ethnicity, social
background, provenance, etc.). Describe the setting of the
interview, including when and where it took place, and state
that it was tape recorded.
· Perform a linguistic analysis of the language the informant
used in the interview. What are the most salient features
characteristic of the participant's dialect? Did s/he use any non-
standard forms, any distinctive lexical items, or unusual non-
verbal communication, etc.? See if you can relate this to the
social and/or background origin of the interviewee.
· Present your results from the dialect, language use, and
language in the family sections of the interview. You may use
direct quotations from the transcript, anecdotes, or anything
else that is relevant.
· Avoid simply summarizing or retelling the facts of the
interview. Instead, try to interpret the interview in order to
arrive at some conclusions regarding the interviewees' dialect
and use of language as well as what beliefs and attitudes s/he
holds towards English (and/or whatever other language he/she
uses).
· Close your essay with your general reflections on this
experience.
Paper Format
· Your paper is to be typed, titled, page numbered, double-
spaced with one-inch margins using a 12-point font (e.g. New
Times Roman).
· Use the APA format.
· Be sure to include your name and the course number on the
cover sheet (following APA).

10. · If your essay includes any citations, make sure you identify
them in a "List of Work Cited." The essay should be from 3-5
pages in length, not including your transcript. Your transcript
should appear as an appendix to your essay.
INTERVIEW FORMAT
Personal Information
· Where were you born? City, State
· Where was your mother born? And your father? (or tutors if
parents are not applicable)
· Where did you grow up? If different from above
· How old are you?
· Where do you currently live?
· What is your schooling experience? (What grade level did you
attain? did you go to college? etc.)
· What do you do for a living? (job, professional interests)
· Do you speak other languages?
· Do you code-switch between those languages and English?
(Once you've obtained enough background information, see if
you can get your interviewee to "style shift" by introducing a
more emotional or controversial topic.)
So, tell me a little bit about yourself, what things do you like to
do?
Talk about things that the speaker gets excited about. Try the
“danger of death” question when you feel the speaker is
comfortable and not aware of the recorder!
Variation
· What do you think a dialect is?

11. · Have you ever noticed being aware that you speak differently
than other people around you?
· Can you give me an example of what you consider “good”
English?
(Again, this is NOT meant to teach what a dialect is.)
· Do you think your pronunciation differs from other speakers?
· Does anyone you know use different words to refer to the
same thing?
Language Use
· Do you code-switch? (if the speaker is bilingual)
· Do you consciously use a more “careful” speech sometimes?
When? Examples?
