Automatic Analysis of the Dynamics of Dialectal Speech Using Artificial Intelligence Methods (AnDy)

The project employs artificial intelligence approaches to analyze the variation between standard language and dialect in authentic recorded conversations. To this end, existing data sets will be used, documenting subjects of different generations throughout Germany. For the first time, such an analysis will be performed directly on speech signals. Furthermore, the project explores the question of how the variation of the identified types of dialect speakers relates to specific social pre-conditions of these individuals, their demographic traits and social context.
