Abstract

Analysis of the changes in dialectal patterns and techniques used to reproduce the sounds of each dialect.

Accompanied by a video entitled "Interviews on the 2009 Economic Recession", produced , written, acted, and directed by Jenny Canfield.

The Accompanying video is a presentation on several different spoken dialects. It is presented as a series of interviews with common people about the present economic situation. All parts are played by Jenny Canfield, as she explores the spoken word through different dialects by changing rhythm, oral posture, melody, and resonance point.
