[Lingtyp] Correlation between trills and pitch (JOO Ian)

[Tihomir Rangelov]

Hi,
If this helps, you can find some spectrograms of words with bilabial trills
from Ahamb here: https://share.eva.mpg.de/index.php/s/ngPE9xj5mQzpXPp . As
far as I can tell, pitch does not appear to be substantially affected at
trills. Female speaker in her 30s.
Best,
Tihomir
