Jessica Wormald (J P French and University of York) and I have been awarded a grant (£1300) from the International Association of Forensic Phonetics and Acoustics (IAFPA) to create a wiki for descriptions of language varieties that can be used, amongst other things, by forensic speech scientists as a resource when assessing typicality in casework. The wiki will contain systematised information about a range of linguistic variables and signpost users to academic research where it is available.
