Author and developer of SPPAS - Automatic Annotation of Speech
Tutorial scopes
This tutorial will report on methodology for the manual and/or automatic annotation and analysis of a recorded speech corpus.
We illustrate the steps to take in the perspective of:
obtaining rich and broad-coverage speech annotation
and initial analysis of such a corpus
both with a specific focus on SPPAS software.
Corpus annotation "can be defined as the practice of adding interpretative, linguistic information to an electronic corpus of spoken and/or written language data. 'Annotation' can also refer to the end-product of this process"(Leech, 1997).
