Summary:	Posting a sum and ''thank you'' on my student's behalf: Lida Cope I would like to thank Dr. Philippa Cook for the tip in finding the Cockney dialect in the British Library Collection, at this web link: http://sounds.bl.uk/BrowseCategory.aspx?category=Accents-and-dialects Furthermore, I would like extend my thanks to Dr. Jasper Holmes, who sent me a email link on British dialects: http://www.bl.uk/learning/langlit/sounds/ Jesse Lovegren who recommended me to use AAVE samples from Youtube. Elen Robert who informed me about the BBC dialect website http://www.bbc.co.uk/voices/. and Katrin Thier who advised me to use the British Library Sound Archive's dialect recordings (sound files), found at http://sounds.bl.uk/BrowseCategory.aspx?category=Accents-and-dialects. I would like to thank these professionals for their contributions to my deposit of information relating to Cockney, particularly in building my store of recordings of Cockney speech. These sources also cover a number of other English dialects, which will prove helpful in later studies exploring different varieties of English. Zuzana Slosarova Elliott
