Ewe (pronounced almost like the 'eve' in the Spanish word 'nueve') is a language of West Africa, spoken in parts of Ghana, Togo, and Benin. Below are unedited (except for amplitude) sound files, in both raw (AIFF) and lossless compressed (FLAC) formats, of Ewe language data graciously contributed by Koffi Afawubo as the Ewe language consultant for the 2006 Spring session of San José State University's Linguistic Field Methods course, conducted by Professor Kevin Moore.

This is a study for native speakers of the varieties of English spoken in North America. It replicates many of the experiments described by Malécot (1960). If you'd like to participate, please click on the links below. Because these pages contain many embedded sound files (especially Session 1), they may be slow to load or may not be displayed properly on your browser (Firefox and Netscape are recommended).
Many thanks for your interest and participation!

This is a study about different types of verbal dishonesty, elaborating on a previous study by Coleman and Kay (1981). If you'd like to answer the questionnaire, please click on one of the links below. I've included a slightly censored version ('bs' is replaced by the word 'humbug') for those who may be sensitive to strong language.
Many thanks for your interest and participation!
