<<What is Praat? I love things played backwards. A long time ago, messing
around with a friend's unfamiliar tape-recorder, I put in the demo tape, and
heard strange music and a Most Curious Language. Sounded like fake Swedish
(a little sing-songy) spoken by a Russian (lots of palatalization). The
most frequent word seemed to be [ojIr'its]. Eventually I figured out, or
was told, that the tape had somehow got rewound backwards. It was English.>>
Praat is a speech-modulation program. I'm not sure where it is... If you go to the
my ling. 110 website, there's a link to it. Here's that website:
