In the last four weeks:
- I segmented a bunch of the files, though maybe only half of what I will need.
- I labeled most of one recording. It takes a long time.
- I met with my advisor about issues with my recordings. I was embarrassed how bad the recording quality is, but she said the sound quality issues aren’t that bad, to be expected in field recordings.
- I transcribed the stimuli, including some of the observed variability.
- I translated one more section of the Southern Wuyu book.
- I found one more dialect survey that includes sandhi data for Jinhua. It doesn’t look like either of the ones I already knew about.
In the next couple weeks:
- I need to finish labeling the one recording, and at least one rep per stimulus for one or two other people.
- Produce contour plots from that preliminary data, to get a feel for where this project might go.
- Keep translating.
