Summary: | This study contains MRI recordings of consonants produced by a native of Tromsø. Each consonant is produced between two low vowels: a__a. The files are labelled with intuitive orthographic renderings of the consonants. Retroflex consonants are preceded by an 'r', e.g., 'arna' for the retroflex nasal, found in words such as 'barn' (child). Palatal consonants are followed by 'j', e.g., 'anja' for the palatal stop, which can be found in words such as 'mann' (man). The recordings were produced for the Artifon project as part of visual illustrations for students learning Norwegian (phonetics). The goal of the Artifon project is to produce a phonetics training app for hand-held devices tailored to Norwegian dialect phonetics.
