Diversification in time and space and how it is perceived: Applying a folk linguistic listening task with Tver’ Karelians
Abstract In this article we apply a folk linguistic listening task to examine how the Tver’ Karelians in Russia recognise a sample of their own dialect and a sample of Border Karelian (spoken in Finland), both recorded about 60 years ago. Tver’ Karelian and Border Karelian have a shared origin in Pr...
