The southeast region of the United States is arguably the most dialectally diverse area in the country. Though some would generalize that everyone from this region has a "Southern accent," these states are filled with smaller subsets of distinct and diverse regional dialects. In this talk, Leah Dudley, CURO student in Linguistics, will utilize the Digital Archive of Southern Speech (DASS) corpus, the largest corpus of Southern speech, and implement multiple Digital Humanities tools, most notably RStudio and ArcGIS, to analyze the formants provided and try to find dialectal trends in different regions of the South.
