| Summary: |
A few weeks ago, I posted a request for information about speech corpora of a particular kind to both the Linguist List and the Corpora-List. This is the (somewhat belated) summary.
I described the corpora we are seeking as follows: ''We are looking for a corpus that contains samples of many speakers producing many vowels (preferably in a less reduced register) that also contains human-validated pitch and formant (F1, F2, and F3) tracks and, if possible, bandwidth information. A corpus that contains more than just vowels is fine, since we can discard sections of the samples that do not suit our needs.'' I received five replies: 1) John Lawler suggested MICASE (Michigan Corpus of Academic Spoken English), which is available here: http://www.lsa.umich.edu/eli/micase/micase.htm 2) Lesley Carmichael suggested I post my request to the Corpora-List. 3) Jane Edwards pointed me at the Switchboard Transcription Project: http://www.icsi.berkeley.edu/real/stp/index.html 4) Susana Sotillo wrote, ''At a recent conference (CALICO) I saw a demonstration of the Speechcalator (Allen Blackwell and associates). Why don't you write him at Carnegie- Mellon.'' 5) Linda Bawcom offered an hour and a half of taped conversation that she used in her MA research. Many thanks to everyone who replied.
