Standardization of Speech Materials for Use in Underwater Research: Comparative Intelligibility of Monosyllabic Word Lists

Coleman, R. F.; Hollien, H.

Journal of Phonetics, 3, 1, 9-16, Jan 75

Underwater intelligibility of three standard word lists is evaluated in two experiments. Results indicate that words which are equated for difficulty in normal conditions are likewise equated under water. Phoneme distortion was examined in a multiple choice test which showed fricatives and place of production to be most affected under water. (SC)
