Context: S2 has just said that the purpose of art is not just to allow people to appreciate beauty, but also to raise awareness.
S2 : ... the social issue (.) and everything (.) because (.) we said that art is related with truth you know (.) and artist you know
S1 : sorry the truth?
S2 : yeah the truth (.) you know if this is truth you know (.) but a lot of thing you know (.) the government doesn’t really like you know
Intended Words : art is related
Heard as : artists we live
Discussion : The main problem is that the sound at the start of related is pronounced as [w].
In asking for clarification, S1 asks what occurs before truth, but S2 misunderstands this and thinks she wants explanation about truth.
