The Talk of the Toon 

This archive contains text transcriptions and audio files of interviews with a wide variety of people from the North East of England, dating back to the late 1960s. As well as capturing the language and dialect of the region, and the ways in which it has changed through the years, the interviews also offer an insight into the lives and opinions of local people over the last five decades.

Diachronic Electronic Corpus of Tyneside English (DECTE)

This is a corpus of dialect speech from the Tyneside area of North-East England.

DECTE is an amalgamation of the existing Newcastle Electronic Corpus of Tyneside English (NECTE), created between 2001 and 2005, and NECTE2, a collection of interviews conducted in the Tyneside area since 2007. It thereby constitutes a rare example of a publicly available online corpus presenting dialect material spanning five decades.
