    Dear corpus linguists,

    on behalf of a PhD-student who wants to work on the graphemic realisation
    of dialects of the English Midlands in texts (fiction or non-fiction) I
    have the following questions:

    Does anybody know of ongoing/completed research in the field of the
    graphemic/orthographic representation of dialects (any dialect, Midlands)?

    Are there any corpora/text-collections available which include texts from
    dialects spoken in the Midlands (the text should be a written
    representation of the spoken dialect using "normal" spelling)?

    Any suggestions are welcome!
