Experimental phonology

Description: The data come from an experimental study of obstruent-liquid clusters in French and Spanish. They were collected in Argentina (Argentine Spanish), Montreal (Quebec French), and Toronto (Quebec French, French French, Chilean Spanish) in 2003-04. Speakers were university educated males and females ranging in age from 23-60.

Data elicitation: Participants read the target words (n=49) mixed with distractors (n=27) in carrier sentences in random order three times (Rounds A,B,C). Most participants also read the language-appropriate version of the fable 'The Northwind and the Sun'.
