Ibaraki Prefecture is an intriguing area where two major regional varieties of the Japanese language meet such as those from Tokyo/Western Kanto and Tohoku. This study is part of
our project on phonetic/phonological variation and change in the Ibaraki dialect. The present study particularly focuses on VOT variation in Ibaraki.

... The VOT sentences were designed to analyze cross-dialectal differences in VOT in a laboratory setting. This dataset, which contained 24 bimoraic nouns, was originally developed by Takao (2012) and was exploited in the study of the Ibaraki dialect (Utsugi et al. 2013). The dataset has two parts: Part 1 (20 words) and Part 2 (4 words). ...
The Corpus of Japanese Telephone Conversation at Hiroshima University (COTCO-H) is a large-scale speech database that is currently under development. COTCO-H contains spontaneous telephone conversations in two different registers (conversations with a local friend and with a campus friend) produced by 50 Hiroshima University students who are native speakers of nonstandard varieties of Japanese. The corpus consists of speech signals and transcriptions for approximately 110,000 words (22 hours), along with morphological annotations such as parts of speech and conjugations. Segmental labeling is currently in progress. COTCO-H also contains different types of read speech produced by the same speakers as auxiliary data. The corpus will contribute to a community of researchers interested in variations across different regions, speech styles, and spontaneity.
