Phonology: Session 3

(Once more I apologize for asking you these questions again.)

What are your initials?

Where did you grow up?


(Again, the instructions are the same as for Sessions 1 and 2. They are repeated here for reference.)

Please listen to each word once by clicking the icon that looks like this: . Then choose the word from the two choices that best matches the word you hear. Try and listen to each word only one time. If you can't decide between the two choices, then you may choose [not sure:]. (Some of the words may be nonsense words.)

Note: It might be a good idea to check first to see whether your browser/configuration will allow you to submit your responses. You can check this now by clicking the [Send] button below or at the bottom of the page. Unless this produces an email message with the subject line "phonology data: session 2" and some gobbledygook in the body, your responses will not be received.

Thank you very much for participating in this study! If you're interested in the original study by Malécot, you can reference the article below:

Malécot, A. 1960. Vowel nasality as a distinctive feature in American English. Language, (36):222-227.

On the unlikely chance that you still have some time to spare, I'm also conducting a semantics study.
