Description
The database of Spoken Multisyllabic English Words (SMEW) contains 4940 words that vary in syllable length from one to five. There are 1027 one-syllable words, 1086 two-syllable words, 982 three-syllable words, 884 four-syllable words, and 961 five-syllable words. Individual words in each number of syllable group were generated from the English Lexicon Project website (http://elexicon.wustl.edu/) and recorded by a male native speaker of the American English. In addition to the zip file containing all words as individual .wav files, there is an excel file with a listing of all words in each number of syllable group and their lexical characteristics. A PRAAT script used to estimate word onset and offset within a .wav file and word duration is also included.
