Analysing Fijian children's speech

Today Holly McAlister and I spent almost 3 hours working on our data frameworks and coding systems for analysing Fijian children's speech (data from Dr Suzanne Hopf's PhD). We have permission from Dr Elise Baker to adapt the CHIRPA and are using the following paper for advice on dialects

Hopf, S. C., McLeod, S., & Geraghty, P. (2016). A contrastive analysis of the phonologies of two Fiji English dialects: A diagnostic guide for speech-language pathologists. Speech, Language, and Hearing, 19(2), 96-104. doi:10.1080/2050571X.2015.1133037

We are also using protocols from my work in the VietSpeech study and the Jamaican study.

Holly's honours is supervised by Dr Suzanne Hopf and myself. I am looking forward to finding out the results (next year after the transcriptions and analyses are complete).
