Hello again,<br>
A second question, on a different thread for clarity: does anybody
have experience with text and phonetic transcription? Specifically,
I have transcriptions of interviews made 30-40 years ago in a form
of regional French that only had 40 speakers at the time. I have 1)
IPA transcriptions, with one or two local conventions for pauses,
etc. and 2) reformulations in standard French. The variety being
exclusively oral, this is all I have. Now, I would imagine that I
could do this either as a corpus and its "translation" or as a
single corpus with the transcriptions as sentence-level attributs
<s trans="..."> or something like that. Would the first type
allow for searches that start with the IPA transcription? The second
type appears of rather limited interest, since searches would need
to start with the reformulation. One last question: I think that the
audio could be linked to the files as metadata. Is this right?<br>
In short, any accounts of user experiences with similar corpora
would be very helpful!<br>
Best,<br>
Graham.
