Subject: intelligibility or other data for original PAL PB-50s? From: "Ferguson, Sarah Hargus" <safergus(at)KU.EDU> Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2005 11:44:12 -0600Hello List - I'm getting ready to do a listening experiment with materials that were previously recorded by a colleague of mine in linguistics. The original corpus had two sets of 8 talkers, each of whom recorded 3 of the original Egan (1948) lists. No two talkers recorded the same set of 3 lists, so I'm trying to find data to help me avoid accidentally choosing talkers who recorded lists that differ in difficulty. I've had my very able assistant searching for intelligibility data where scores are reported for the individual lists (we don't care who the talker is), and she's come up empty after several days of looking. Does anyone know of an article that reports this sort of data? Or perhaps lexical data (e.g., frequency, neighborhood density, etc.) about these lists? ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Sarah Hargus Ferguson, Ph.D., CCC-A Assistant Professor Department of Speech-Language-Hearing: Sciences and Disorders University of Kansas Dole Center 1000 Sunnyside Ave., Room 3001 Lawrence, KS 66045 office: (785)864-1116 Speech Acoustics and Perception Lab: (785)864-0610 http://www.lsi.ku.edu/ipcd/FAC/Bios/FergusonBio.html
