NSF grant will help further research supported by Kretzschmar’s DIGI cluster

A digital humanities project to identify variations in Southern speech over time and space will be aided by a grant from the National Science Foundation. William A. Kretzschmar, Harry and Jane Willson Professor in the Humanities (department of English) and the project’s principal investigator, directs the Complex Systems and the Humanities research cluster, part of the Digital Humanities Initiative (DIGI) of the Willson Center, the UGA Libraries, and the UGA Press. Much of the current research will be presented on the website of Kretzschmar’s Linguistic Atlas Project, also affiliated with DIGI and the Willson Center DigiLab.
