Why choose this project topic?
The focus on how nasalisation participates in vowel contrasts within a Yoruba variety provides a specific linguistic problem that can be investigated with a bounded dataset. Speaker-checked evidence and explicit analysis decisions make the proposal suitable for discussion with a language specialist.
What can consented recordings from adult speakers and a carefully screened word list establish about how nasalisation participates in vowel contrasts within a Yoruba variety?
Name the precise variety or participant setting, agree the sample and analysis tools, and verify the feasibility of studying how nasalisation participates in vowel contrasts within a Yoruba variety.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Define an analytical account of how nasalisation participates in vowel contrasts within a Yoruba variety.
- 02Document relevant examples using consented recordings from adult speakers and a carefully screened word list.
- 03Combine auditory transcription with acoustic inspection and examine surrounding consonants before classifying contrasts.
A suggested research approach
Confirm access to consented recordings from adult speakers and a carefully screened word list and the competence needed for transcription or translation. Combine auditory transcription with acoustic inspection and examine surrounding consonants before classifying contrasts. Pilot the tasks, record uncertain judgments, and obtain required ethics approval and informed consent before involving speakers.
What you will need
- Authorised access to consented recordings from adult speakers and a carefully screened word list
- A transcription or coding protocol for how nasalisation participates in vowel contrasts within a Yoruba variety
- Appropriate language competence, secure storage and participant consent arrangements
Keep your project scope clear
Recording equipment and coarticulation limit claims about the strength of nasalisation.
