Summary
The Menn Phonetic Mini-Corpus (MPMC) is a phonetically transcribed American English dataset available from the PhonBank database at https://phonbank.talkbank.org/derived/. The IPA transcription was made by a linguist with over 50 years of experience in transcribing early child speech; most other recorded corpora that are available to the research community are transcribed in conventional spelling or analyzed globally instead of being transcribed, and cannot be searched for the occurrence of particular speech sounds and their context Such phonetic searches provide entry points for acoustic analyses as well as for the descriptive analyses presented here. Phon enables research based on both phonetic transcriptions and acoustic data measurements, assessing for example the overall shape of word forms as well as the behavior of specific speech sounds and sound combinations across different contexts within the word Researchers may add their own coding to the existing annotations of corpora in CHILDES, and may run additional phonological analyses using Phon (Hedlund and O’Brien, 2004; Rose et al, 2006; Rose and MacWhinney, 2014; Hedlund and Rose, 2020)
