The Elicitation Lines
Different elicitation scripts were generated for each speaker, however a few
sentences were included in all the elicitation scripts. The scripts were crafted
for each dialect so that specific linguistic features present in that dialect
could be contrasted against other dialects, as well as capturing pronunciation
variants of for example place names.

Various sources were used for the elicitation scripts. Each line presented in
the data set has a LINE_ID which refers to the identifier given to the source
line used for the scripts. The LINE_ID can therefore be used to find the same
line from different speakers, or different dialects.

The sources for the lines are various such as Wikipedia, The Rainbow Passage,
lines to perform tasks on a virtual assistant which were edited for length and
adding target words for accent elicitation while keeping the content intact.
