fricatives: Catalan and Spanish intervocalic alveolar fricatives.

In CDEager/nauf: Regression with NA Values in Unordered Factors

Description

A dataset containing duration and voicing measures for /s/ from 16 speakers of Spanish and for /s/, /z/, and /S/ (the variant that is neutralized in underlying voicing) for 26 speakers of Catalan. The data are from a corpus of map task interviews in Spanish and Catalan and all fricatives are intervocalic. If you analyze the fricatives dataset in a publication, please cite Hualde and Prieto (2014) from the references section below.
