Hi Andreas,
I've got your paper and will read through it tomorrow.
Your analysis technique is interesting. I'm wondering whether any of your
sounds are dependant on the context provided by sounds that precede them?
The reason why I'm asking about context is that in linguistics quite often
words with multiple wordsenses are disambiguated based on context. Part of
this context comes from the linguistic context that is derived from the
words and text that precede the ambiguous word. People usually store this
linguistic context in their memory.
If you do have sounds that are context dependant, which could be thought of
as being equivalent to linguistic context, then having people write down
what they think the sound means may give them a memory aid to use for
disambiguating future sounds.
You've probably thought about this already, but if it is a potential problem
then maybe having the person say what they think the meaning is might be a
simple modification that would avoid the memory aid problem. As speech is
temporary it won't be present for the person to refer to later, and you
could capture the person's response using a tape recorder or other recording
device.
