Phonemes: Miller-Nicely Consonant Phoneme Confusion Data

Description

Miller-Nicely data on the auditory confusion of 16 consonant phonemes.

Usage

data("Phonemes")

Arguments

Format

A symmetric matrix of the misclassification probabilities of 16 English consonant phonemes.

Details

Miller+Nicely:1955 obtained the confusions by exposing female subjects to a series of syllables consisting of one of the 16 consonants followed by the vowel a under 17 different experimental conditions. The data provided are obtained from aggregating the six so-called flat-noise conditions in which only the speech-to-noise ratio was varied into a single matrix of misclassification frequencies.
