Project 4

Listen to the articulation test responses of the five African-American children that are on the course web page (). Gloss and transcribe ten word productions that exhibit features of African American English, phonological processes, or idiosyncratic errors. Record the time (min:sec) where the word occurs in the recording. At least five of the words must show AAE features. Identify all features exhibited in the table columns. Note that some errors may be viewed as both AAE features and phonological processes.
