Voices of Merseyside

This research is part of my MA thesis project at @UvA_Amsterdam. I was due to visit merseyside this week to gather research in person, but obviously this is not possible now. So I’m asking the kind people on Twitter to help and spread my project 🙏

@POferries hi, just saw the Europort to hull departing tomorrow is delayed by 8 hours? Is it possible to get a refund on this? I can’t seem to do it online and I’ve been on hold on the phone for 2+ hours. Thanks

@RuthvanZalinge Thank you 🙏

@merseysidevoice Done, good luck with it 👍🍀😊

Looking for some help in gathering research for my linguistics MA. Due to the current climate, I am unable to travel to Merseyside from Amsterdam. So here I am on Twitter! Can you please help. RT are appreciated 🙏 voicesofmerseyside.org

@JoanEBurnett @LivQueerColl @LCRPride @artinliverpool @CultureLPool Thank you Joan 🙏

@CrankyPants85 @YOLiverpool Thank you 🙏

@DanAshleyW @UvA_Amsterdam Thank you 🙏

If you live in #Merseyside, help us explore people's perceptions of the region's accents and dialects by creating a dialect map! Find the link here voicesofmerseyside.org

@RLValentine Thank you so much 🙏

@merseysidevoice Done

So grateful of the responses so far. I’m not gonna lie, I’m still way short on the data I need. 😭 it’s a tough gig trying to do this remotely, so if you have the time, you would really be helping me out 🙏

...so grateful of the responses already 🙏 This research is vital part of my MA thesis. I can’t do this without you. If you have 5 mins spare you can find it here voicesofmerseyside.org you would be helping me out immensely #merseyside

I’m still looking for fellow Merseysiders to complete my survey on the accents and dialects of our region. I’m staying positive, my plan to be in there this week has been scuppered by corona. So I’m here in Amsterdam, pushing my research on to you remotely...

Are the accents and dialects of the people of #Merseyside defined by geographical borders? Would your map look like this? Draw your own dialect map here voicesofmerseyside.org and help us create a representative map of Merseyside accents.

Any tips or feedback about how to share my project further will be warmly received. If you haven’t completed it yet find it here voicesofmerseyside.org enjoy your evening and thanks again

Had some great responses so far, I’m so grateful for your input. Please feel free to share. So disappointed not to be in Merseyside in person to collect this data, but being introduced Twitter has my research going in the right direction, this makes me happy 🙏

@livuninews @LJMU @CommediaLivUni @LivUniAlumni @CultureLPool @livunilanguages @livuniresthemes RT would be much appreciated 🙏
