Stop voicing contrast in American English: Data of individual speakers in trochaic and iambic words in different prosodic structural contexts.

ABSTRACT: The data reported in this article contain eleven (6 female and 5 male) individual speaker's speech production patterns for the word-initial voiced and voiceless stops (/p,t/ and /b,d/) in American English.
