Subject: Request for acoustic data

 
Dear all,

I am an italian student who is working on a Master thesis in Linguistics at
the University of Bologna.

The general topic is phonological markedness. In particular, I would like to
examine the realization of voiced consonants’ VOT  in languages missing the
voiceless counterpart. 

I cross-referenced information from WALS
(https://wals.info/feature/5A#2/19.3/152.8), UPSID, PHOIBLE 2.0  and the UCLA
Phonetics Lab Archive and I discovered that only 5 out of 33 languages missing
/p/ have a sufficient speech database, made by 50 words at least: Arabic
(Egyptian), Yoruba, Somali, Hausa and Berber.

I will be very grateful for any advice about any other language whose
inventory misses the “unmarked” counterpart of a segment, as well as for
informations on other available acoustic databases.

Thank you for your help!
 

Linguistic Field(s): Phonetics
                     Phonology

Subject Language(s): Arabic, Egyptian (arz)
