Gifts to SPA Labs


SPA Labs welcome your gifts and support of student research.

SPA Labs Heritage Fund

This fund is used to document the history, nature and development of regional dialect variation in American English using advanced speech analysis methods. The fund supports preservation of historical sound recording by digitizing the old tapes and building a database for a modern investigation of sound change. These pursuits will serve not only to increase our understanding of regional language variation and change in pronunciation across generations but to cherish family traditions as spoken language is handed on from each older generation to the younger.
