speech accent archive

The Speech Accent Archive (PI: stvn h. weinberger) is a nationally and internationally acclaimed database which presents a large set of speech accents from a variety of language backgrounds. Native and non-native speakers of English all read the famous Stella paragraph and are carefully recorded. The archive is constructed as a teaching tool and as a research tool. It is meant to be used by linguists as well as other people who are interested in the accents, including language teachers, speech therapists, actors, and those who simply wish to listen to and compare the accents of different English speakers. As of July 2021, the archive has 2,959 samples.
