Investigating Stress Placement of the Speakers with the Acoustic Method


The following tables present the results of the acoustic method. A question mark indicates the fact that a clear classification as either RP or GA was not possible. A question mark in brackets after RP/GA means that the result is not very clear since the difference between the two syllables is only minor.
