Project 1: Corpora for discovering language-specific and language-general patterns of FPD
BUILDING CORPORA for discovering language-specific and language-general patterns of fine phonetic detail. The S2S partners already use many corpora, ranging from spontaneous conversations between two or more people to tightly-controlled read phrases or isolated words; and from large, multi-speaker collections to just a few tokens of a few structural types from one or two speakers. We will use these corpora when appropriate. However, Project 1 will take S2S further by serving three related functions: infrastructure service provision, corpus-building in a range of languages, and hypothesis-testing.The work will include different languages, different speech styles, and comparisons between languages. The focus can include phonetic reductions and turn taking in conversational speech, morphological and segmental distinctions, and interactions between segments and prosody.
