A comparison of three speaker-intrinsic vowel formant frequency normalization algorithms for sociophonetics (2009, methodology): “The study uses two data sets: (1) a corpus of 20 RP speakers compiled from Hawkins & Midgley (2005) and Moreiras (2006), and (2) Scottish English data from Aberdeen in the northeast of Scotland (Watt & Yurkova, 2007).”
Variation and change in the trap and strut vowels of RP: a real time comparison of five acoustic data sets (2007, methodology): “Further, as will be demonstrated below, similar tendencies in the mean values can be seen in data averaged from four measurements per keyword vowel (Hawkins & Midgley 2005) and in data based on over 20 measurements per keyword vowel (as in some of the Cambridge interview analyses).”
DISCRIMINATION OF SPEAKERS USING THE FORMANT DYNAMICS OF /uː/ in BRITISH ENGLISH (2007, background): “Subjects were twenty male speakers of SSBE, aged 18-25 years (denoted S1, S2, …).”
Formant frequencies of vowels in 13 accents of the British Isles (2010, methodology): “In particular, it would have been desirable to know the age of the participants because many studies (e.g. Labov 1994, Foulkes & Docherty 1999, Hawkins & Midgley 2005) have shown that a speaker’s age is a central factor in explaining phonetic and phonological variation.”
