A sample of 100 CVCs was presented to 200 Ss from widely-separated college populations at the Universities of Georgia and Montana in order to obtain comparative ratings of pronounceability (p). The results indicated high within-population reliability coefficients (r ≥.98) and a high between-population correlation coefficient (r =.975). When the ratings were grouped by fives into 20 pairs of means, the Montana norms regressed linearly on the Georgia norms with r =.993.
The Ss were instructed to rate the pronounceability of each consonant-vowel-consonant combination on a 9-point rating scale.
