The LeaP corpus is a phonologically annotated corpus that comprises spoken language produced by 46 learners of English and 55 learners of German as well as recordings with 4 native speakers of English and 7 native speakers of German. In total, it consists of 12 hours of speech and was collected at the University of Bielefeld (Germany) between 2001 and 2003 as part of the LeaP (Learning Prosody in a Foreign Language) project, which investigated the acquisition of prosody by second language learners of German and English with special focus on stress, intonation, and speech rhythm as well as influencing factors on the acquisition process and outcome.
