Table 2.

Summary of <s> and <sh> perceptions (as gauged by agreement by more than 70% of all the English-speaking listeners or all the Japanese-speaking listeners) as a ratio to the intended ∕s∕ or ∕∫∕ target by the two listener groups. The raw counts of stimulus for each category are included in parentheses.

		English listeners (n = 18)		Japanese listeners (n = 20)
		<s>	<sh>	<s>	<sh>
English stimuli (%)	Intended ∕s∕ (n = 78)	65 (n = 51)	7 (n = 6)	43 (n = 34)	6 (n = 5)
	Intended ∕∫∕ (n = 122)	20 (n = 25)	48 (n = 59)	12 (n = 15)	43 (n = 53)
Japanese stimuli (%)	Intended ∕s∕ (n = 118)	40 (n = 47)	12 (n = 14)	40 (n = 47)	13 (n = 15)
	Intended ∕∫∕ (n = 82)	11 (n = 9)	55 (n = 45)	12 (n = 10)	30 (n = 25)
