MI Diaries: Tell your Story for Linguistic Analysis

Since April 2020, MI Diaries has been collecting weekly “audio diaries” from Michiganders through a mobile app. We demonstrate how we collect stories, how we share the funniest, most reflective, or most interesting stories with the public, and how we do language science analysis of the recordings. Visitors will learn about word choice and pronunciation differences, and they will also get a chance to contribute a story of their own to the project. 

Presented by:

  • Betsy Sneller, Assistant Professor of Linguistics, Linguistics, Languages, and Cultures, MSU
  • Suzanne Wagner, Associate Professor of Linguistics, Linguistics, Languages, and Cultures, MSU

Suggested for ages: Kindergarten and Pre-K, Elementary school age, Middle school age, High school age, 18 years and above

Scientific Disciplines:

  • Arts, Culture, and Design
  • Science Education
  • Social Science
  • STEAM Expo Days 149
