Description
Audio tokens selected and edited from BLIP Lab's Singapore Early Word List - Audio Recordings. Selection performed by Tong, Zhane C. in 2023, under the supervision of SJS. Original audio recordings conducted by Woon Fei Ting and Annabel Loh under the supervision of Suzy J Styles as part of the Talkathon study in 2022-4. Tokens in both languages were spoken by a female Singaporean early-parallel bilingual of Singapore English and Singapore Mandarin in her 20s. For full details of audio recording conditions, please consult the main repository. Audio tokens are stereo wav files. Each token is a single word listed in the file name. This repository contains 86 English and 82 Mandarin tokens of words that are suitable for use with children under the age of 5 in Singapore. For English tokens, the name of the audio file is the word in English. To facilitate checking, handling and picture matching by our multilingual team, for the Mandarin tokens, the file names are given as English translation equivalents followed by the letter M. For Pinyin and Hanzi of the Mandarin words please consult the AudioFileList. Use the "tree" to view files in folder context. The majority of these words were used in a semantic decision task (animate/inanimate), with thematic semantic priming (related/unrelated) within and across languages (language match/mismatch). The study was preregistered (https://doi.org/10.21979/N9/ERB6J8), and materials, data and code have been archived (https://doi.org/10.21979/N9/JXMRVM). The list of semantic priming pairs is included in this repository.
