- Abstract
- This dataset includes annotated corpus data from live lyrical performances of 16 blues artists from 2 periods (1960s and 2010s) and from 2 social groups (African American and non-African American). Both native and non-native blues singers are included. Five phonological forms of African American English [AAE] were selected as variables using the relevant literature: (1) /aɪ/ monophthongization, (2) final /-t/ and (3) /-d/ deletion, (4) alveolar nasal /n/ in <-ing> ultimas, and (5) deletion of post-vocalic, word-final /-r/. Each observation of these forms was annotated as either AAE-realization or non-AAE-realization. The lexeme in which the form occurs is annotated as well as the performing artist and the song in which the observation occurs. The full lyrics itself are not included in the dataset.
