 	I believe I asked you recently how those "phonetic corpora" were 
obtained.  Are they all recorded speech?  Are they spontaneous?  Are they 
transcribed?  What situations were the various texts spoken in?

 	Sure you might be able to use these corpora for classification - 
if they are representative and reliable.
