Recordings
We have recorded the Leeds and the Belfast data, and the
data from Newcastle will be recorded next week. Labelling
is in progress, with the help of a number of volunteers
who are working with us over the summer.
Measurements
F0 measurements on a section of the controlled data
(the 'sentence data', see first update) have revealed
several cross-varietal differences in the phonetic
implementation of H*+L and L*+H accents when produced
on IP final syllables which offer little scope for
voicing. For instance, H*+L is implemented differently
in General Southern British English and Leeds English,
and L*+H is implemented differently in General Southern
British English and Belfast English.
The data will be presented at Laboratory
Phonology 6 in York at the beginning of July (poster).
