The project is directed by Dr. Robin P. Fawcett with the assistance of Dr.
Michael R. Perkins. It has been entirely funded during Phase 1 (1978-80) by the
Polytechnic of Wales, but additional outside support will be needed forPhase 2
(1981-83) and is currently being sought. Phase 1 has been primarily concerned
with the recording, transcription and publication of a large body of data (see
below), while Phase 2 will be concerned with its analysis.
