Perception of L-Vocalization (version B)

Introduction & Consent

Aim of Research

This is a study of the perception of coda-/l/ vocalization in varieties of US English. We hope to find out more about what factors go into the way phoneticians code /l/ vocalization auditorily, comparing these results to acoustic measures at a later stage. Your taking this survey will be an important contribution to the study of the social and phonetic variation of English liquids.

2) training exercise (about 5 minutes)
