UCLA Phonetic Archives of my research in Phonology and Phonetics

(recorded by Dan Everett & Peter Ladefoged (with assistance from Barbara Kern, Keren Madora, and others))

Banawa

The data for Banawa illustrate stress and segmental phonology.

Pirahã

Pirahã data here mainly illustrate stress placement and segmental phonology, but intonational examples are found in number 75 (76 is a duplication).

Wari'

These data illustrate various things including the sui generis alveolar-bilabial trill.

Oro Win

These data focus on the Oro Win version of the alveolar-bilabial trill.
