Chapter 3: The Philadelphia Neighborhood Corpus Data

Josef Fruehwald (2013)

Abstract

In this chapter, I describe the data that I use throughout the dissertation. It consists of vowel formant measurements drawn from the Philadelphia Neighborhood Corpus.

My favorite figure from this chapter is a histogram of how many measurements we have per-speaker. It shows that most speakers have just a bit more than 1,000 vowel measurements.
