Hullo,

would any of you care to direct me towards or supply me with a database of
recorded VCV transitions, for use in a neural net phonetic recogniser? I'm
particularly interested in recognition of place of articulation of plosives,
and ideally (if rather unrealistically) I'd like distinct recordings of
eg. dental as opposed to alveolar, or even more finely, apicodental, 
laminodental, etc..., and with a constant value for the vowel (/ata/,
/aTa/ etc...); if possible, not preprocessed, but the sampled original.

Thanks muchly.
