Level Stress: Skattungbyn08

The Level Stress Recordings is a collection of scripted recordings of a varying set of target words read in different carrier sentences.
A number of archaic Norwegian and Swedish dialects are represented. The recordings were made primarily in order to investigate the so-called level stress hypothesis and its interplay with the quantity of the stressed vowel and the tonal accent distinction.
