“…Research into Karelian has made use of folk linguistic methods but applied and adjusted them to fit this particular linguistic context. Previous research has focused on what Finns with and without Karelian roots mean by the term Karelian, what linguistic features they assign to Karelian, and how they recognise samples of Karelian (Palander 2015;Riionheimo & Palander 2017, 2020Palander & Riionheimo 2018a, 2018b. Furthermore, there are a few studies concerning the language regard of North (Viena) Karelians living in Russia, how they value the Karelian dialects in relation to each other and to the Finnish and Russian languages (Kunnas 2013), and how the North Karelians recognise different varieties of Karelian (Kunnas 2018).…”

“…Vaattovaara and Halonen (2015) have applied a recognition task to examine what linguistic features are reported by the respondents to reveal that the sample represents the Helsinki metropolitan area. Riionheimo and Palander (2017), in turn, have used a listening task when investigating to what extent Finnish university students recognised the dialect of Border Karelia. In all these cases the focus has been on recognising the areal background of the speakers, and the present study follows this tradition.…”

In this article we apply a folk linguistic listening task to examine how the Tver’ Karelians in Russia recognise a sample of their own dialect and a sample of Border Karelian (spoken in Finland), both recorded about 60 years ago. Tver’ Karelian and Border Karelian have a shared origin in Proto-Karelian but have been diverging from each other since the seventeenth century; the former has had strong influence from Russian and the latter from Finnish. The study investigates the Tver’ Karelians’ awareness of and observations about the Karelian language and shows that they easily recognise their own dialect, whereas the Border Karelian sample is harder to recognise and describe. However, the respondents observed and described lexical and phonetic features of this sample, and two thirds of them located the sample in the republic of Karelia or in Finland, mostly based on the ‘accent’ of the speaker.
