The Sociolinguistic Archive and Analysis Project, at North Carolina State University, is an interactive web-based archive of sociolinguistic recordings, with integrated media playing and annotation features, as well as phonetic analysis and corpus analysis tools designed for enabling and improving empirical linguistic inquiry.

The archive continues to grow over time. It currently contains (as of July 2024)

  • over 5,000 interviews;
  • over 8,200 audio files;
  • over 4,100 hours of audio!;

  • over 270 hours of transcribed audio;
  • over 2.7 million words of orthographically transcribed speech, accurately time-stamped and linked to the audio
from a variety of languages (predominately American dialects in North Carolina and the southeastern United States).

Many of the collections housed in SLAAP are indexed in the language resource catalog maintained by OLAC, and this is the best source for a list of collections available in SLAAP. To find information about many of the collections in SLAAP, please see SLAAP's entries in the OLAC catalog. You may also want to view SLAAP's main entry at OLAC.

More information is available on the about SLAAP page. Kendall 2007a also provides a general introduction to SLAAP.
