Description

In North American English, the sounds [t] and [d] can sometimes be optionally pronounced as [ɾ] (a "tap") if followed by a vowel. This data set is from a production experiment in which two factors were manipulated: speech rate (speakers were instructed to take fast or to talk slowly) and syntax (instransitive: 'If you plit, Alice will be mad' vs. transitive: 'If you plit Alice, Fred will be mad. The data were annotated for whether the speaker tapped the consonant of interest (plit vs. pliɾ). Also, acoustic measures were extracted. See the references for further detail.
