# This file contains metadata describing the "tick1" experiment

# with G. Kochanski and J. Coleman as principal investigators.

# This table is in the FIAT data format, defined originally by
# http://dls.physics.ucdavis.edu/fiat/fiat.html, but somewhat
# extended.   Python implementations
# of modules to read and write this format can be found at
# http://sourceforge.net under the "speechresearch" project, in the
# "gmisclib/fiatio.py" file.   http://sourceforge.net/projects/speechresearch
# should lead to the software.
# The format is simply a tab-separated column format, with escape sequences
# that begin with percent characters.
#
# This table contains one line per utterance.  It describes the properites
# of the various phrases used in the experiment.  Columns are as follows:
#
# TTYPE1 = repence
# This is the actual text (but encoded.  "%S" is the code for a space.)
#
# TTYPE2 = text
# This is an ID code for the sentence's text.   It matches the "text"
# field in DB.fiat.
#
# TTYPE3 = metrical_pattern
# This is the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables.
