#' TD Deletion data from the Buckeye Corpus
#'
#' @details
#' This data was automatically generated from the Buckeye corpus by comparing the canonical
#' transcription for each word to its phonetic transcription in the corpus. It includes
#' estimates for rate of speech (syllables per second), as well as two different sets of
#' morphological coding.
#'
#' The coding scheme for \bold{\code{Gram}} is as follows
#' \describe{
#'  \item{\code{and}}{The word "and"}
#'  \item{\code{justT}}{Past tense and participial forms that just have a final [d] -> [t] change.
#'               specifically, "built", "sent", and "spent".}
#'  \item{\code{mono}}{Any word that doesn't have verbal morphology, and isn't a contraction.}
#'  \item{\code{nochange}}{No-change past tense forms. Specifically, "cost",
#'                         "burst", "cast" and its contractions}
#'  \item{\code{nt}}{Not contraction, e.g. "don't".}
#'  \item{\code{past}}{Regular past tense}
#'  \item{\code{semiweakD}}{Verbs that have a stem change and add /d/. Specifically
#'                          "heard","sold", "told", "unheard".}
#'  \item{\code{semiweakT}}{Verbs that have a stem change and add /t/. e.g. "felt", "kept"}
#'  \item{\code{stemchange}}{Verbs that have a stem change, and no apparent affix. Specifically
#'                           "bound", "found", and "held"}
#'  \item{\code{went}}{The word "went"}
#' }
#'
#' The coding scheme for \code{Gram2} is identical, except that it collapses the \code{semiweakD}
#' and \code{semiweakT} categories from \code{Gram}.
