For Query: Linguist 11.1254

The following are Linguist List replies in response to my
inquiry about live data on dialects, register shifting, code-switching,
etc. which may be at websites and which could be useful for a general
class on Language and Society. There are some suggestions about print data
too. Thanks very much to all who responded. Amy Sheldon

Currently we have 17 recordings of different informants reading the "North
Wind and the Sun" story familiar from the IPA's Handbook. They are not
specifically related to code swithching phenomena. The audio format is
MP3, and each recording has a detailed phonetic.
