The other N: The role of repetitions and items in the design of phonetic experiments
نویسنده
چکیده
Some branches of phonetics prefer experiments that feature a large number of repetitions and only few unique items. This paper discusses this relatively common experiment design choice, arguing that repetitions do not always help for drawing sound conclusions from phonetic data. It is recommended that phonetic experiments should be designed with less repetitions and more distinct items.
