Database III

Database III contains all (or almost all) recordings made under the research project Synchronous speech and semantic expectancy: a study about the interaction between speech production and the semantic level of language (CNPq 130269/2018-2).
The data was obtained in synchronized speech experiment, in which two speakers were recorded while reading the same text at the same time. The recordings correspond to two Aesop fables: The north wind and the sun (named as Text 1) and Belling the cat (named as Text 2).
The speakers were recorded in two separate channels and the sound files below correspond to the reading of the entire text done by both participants, in both experimental conditions. Along with the sound files, there are the corresponding TextGrid files, in which the text is segmented into VV units (Vowel-Vowel units).
The experimental design is shown below.

Experimental design:
Group A: 12 pairs x 2 conditions (Original and Altered) x 1 repetition
Group B: 12 pairs x 2 conditions (Original and Altered) x 1 repetition
We collected data from 24 pairs, equally divided into 2 groups: group A and group B. The pairs from group A read Text 1 in the Original condition and Text 2 in the Altered condition. Pairs from group B read Text 2 in the Original condition and Text 1 in the Altered condition.

How to read the files names:
Each file is named after these criteria: Group (A or B); Pair number (from 1 to 12, for each group); Experimental condition (Original or Altered).
For example: “A1alterado” (Group A, Par A1, Altered condition).
