Re: VCV nonsense syllable corpus

["Gustafson, Samantha" <samantha.gustafson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I’m not sure how much variability there is in rate, but a list from Shannon et al (1999) has repeated utterances from the same talker. Here is the link to the citation – I believe the lists can be used for research purposes free of charge.

The EUROM1 Multi-lingual speech corpus includes some VCVs from speakers of different languages ...

Only a few copies left, and priced in pounds sterling, so very cheap.

Hi all,

 

I’m looking for help in finding a corpus of VCV nonsense syllables. I’m examining the cortical representation of consonants (using EEG) and want capture some invariance to acoustic variability. More so than presenting multiple talkers, I am looking for multiple repeat utterances of the same VCV within the same talker (not only different vowel contexts, but the exact VCV uttered at different rates and with as much variability in prosodic features as possible). Does anyone on this list knows of such a corpus? Many thanks in advance.

 

Best,

Narayan
