  • The Concept of Identity in the East Midlands of England NATALIE
    The Concept of Identity in the East Midlands of England NATALIE BRABER Investigating feelings of identity in East Midlands adolescents Introduction When considering dialectal variation in the UK, linguists have frequently considered the North/South divide and the linguistic markers separating the two regions (see for example Trudgill, 1999; Wells, 1986). But it has been noted that this is not a straightforward division (e.g. Beal, 2008; Goodey, Gold, Duffett & Spencer, 1971; Montgomery, 2007; Wales, 2002). There are clear stereotypes for the North and South – but how do areas like the East Midlands fit into the picture? The boundaries between North and South are defined in different ways. Beal’s linguistic North does not include the East Midlands (Beal, 2008: 124- 5), neither does Wales’ (2002: 48). Trudgill states that in traditional dialectology the East Midlands area falls under ‘Central’ dialects, which come under the ‘Southern’ branch, but in modern dialectology it falls in the ‘North’. Hughes, Trudgill and Watt (2005: 70) contains a map which has the East Midlands in the North. Linguistically, the question has been raised whether there is a clear North/South boundary (see for example Upton (2012) where it is proposed that it is a transition zone). This paper revisits this question from the point of view of young people living in the East Midlands, to examine their sense of identity and whether this cultural divide is salient to them. The East Midlands is a problematic area in its definition geographically, and people may have difficulty in relating this to their own sense of identity.

  • The DRM Trial
    Project Mayflower: The DRM Trial Final Report April 2009 1 Project Mayflower: The DRM Trial Trial Summary Introduction The BBC and its transmission provider, National Grid Wireless, have recently undertaken a trial of digital radio mondiale (DRM), a technology which allows digital broadcasting at frequencies lower than 30 MHz. The trial ran for a year from April 2007. The final report of the trial is made up of three separate documents: − this trial summary report, which provides some background and draws together the headline conclusions; − a final audience research report, which outlines the results of the research undertaken with an audience panel over the year1; and − a BBC R&D white paper, which provides the results and analysis of continuous unattended measuring and logging of the transmission2. Reflecting the way in which the trial was organised, each of these reports has been written by a different part of the team involved. The final audience research report has been written by the company employed to undertake the research – Leapfrog Research & Planning – with the assistance of BBC Marketing, Communications & Audiences. The technical note has been written by a member of the team who built the continuous logging network at BBC Research & Development and who was involved in developing the underlying DRM technology. 1 “Project Mayflower ‐ Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) Trial: Final audience research summary report”, Daniel Amarasinghe (Leapfrog Planning & Research), Russell Chant (BBC MC&A); August 2008 2 BBC Research White Paper 174, “The Plymouth Digital Radio Mondiale (Drm) Trial: Long‐term Reception Results”, Andrew Murphy; February 2009 2 Background to the trial The digital radio mondiale (DRM) technology is an international standard which was designed to allow digital broadcasting at frequencies below 30 MHz, that is in the broadcasting bands which currently rely on AM transmission.
