Subject: old speech demonstration From: Paul Iverson <paul(at)PHON.UCL.AC.UK> Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2003 10:09:59 +0100I have heard rumors about some old speech demonstration tapes, perhaps created in Sweden in the 70's, in which a single reduced vowel is used for all vowels and /d/ is used for all plosives; the speech remains intelligible. I can re-create demos like that, but I was wondering whether anyone could give me references or information about the original work. Paul Iverson Dept.
