FREDDIE – FReiburg English Dialect Database for Instruction and E-learning

In diesem Projekt wird die linguistische Sammlung FRED – The FReiburg English Dialect Corpus (s.u.) zu einer multimedialen Lehr- und Lernplattform unter dem Namen FREDDIE weiterentwickelt.

FRED ist eine am Englischen Seminar der Universität Freiburg aufgebaute Datenbank – die größte ihrer Art weltweit – mit Transkripten und 300 Stunden Audiomaterial für Dialekte des Englischen aus mehr als 40 Counties in England, Wales und Schottland. Auf Basis dieser authentischen Daten stellt das Online-Portal FREDDIE zusätzliche Materialien und neue Funktionen zur Verfügung .
