studies using auditory objects corpus/database

[Richard Nance <rnance@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've asked this before on this list (I think), but maybe something's
changed.

I'm looking for any research on semantic satiation, semantic generation, and
semantic spreading that has been done with non-word sounds. I was hoping
since such auditory databases are being sought out, maybe one of you would
have run across something. It isn't a major point in my own work, but it
does seem to be quite a large gap in a hundred years of research. Someone
must have needed some easy grant money at some point. Is there some reason
it can't be done? Or is it just an uninteresting question?

I've been looking around for a long time, and I'm about to make a statement
in a paper about it. The problem is that not finding something doesn't
necessarily mean it doesn't exist. 

Best,

Rick Nance

Hi,

I was wondering whether a database/corpus of ecological sounds
(excluding speech) is available anywhere. Could anyone  help me on this?

Thanks!
