UCLA Phonological Segment Inventory Database. The UCLA Phonological Segment Inventory Database (or UPSID) is a statistical survey of the phoneme inventories in 451 of the world's languages. The database was created by American phonetician Ian Maddieson for the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 1984 and has been updated several times.
The Phonetics Lab has copies of several kinds of physiology recordings/data. (1) In the Audio Lab (room B) filing drawers is the database compiled by Sarah Dart and described in Working Papers #66 (1987): xerox copies of all the Xray traces she could find in the literature, except for those from books already owned by Peter Ladefoged.
The UCLA Phonological Segment Inventory Database. Data on the phonological systems of 451 languages, with programs to access it, by Ian Maddieson and Kristin Precoda. This is an elderly DOS program (and thus Windows only), neither of whose developers are still at UCLA, and no support is offered.
This site is a (hopefully) simple user interface to the UCLA Phonological Segment Inventory Database (UPSID). This Database was compiled by Ian Maddieson and Kristin Precoda (cf. Maddieson, 1984) and contains information on the distribution of 919 different segments in 451 languages.
Natural Language Reference: Site: UCLA Phonological Segment Inventory Database (UPSID) Description: A collection of web pages for each of the UPSID languages listing the phonological inventories of each language, showing the phonological segments by feature and referencing the other languages that have each feature.
Mar 17, 2009 · Abstract.
