  1. Carme de-la-Mota • Lourdes Aguilar • Joan Borràs-Comes • Verònica Crespo-Sendra • Pilar Prieto Rafèu Sichel • Maria del Mar Vanrell Grup d’Estudis de Prosòdia Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona Universitat Pompeu Fabra Workshop sobre entonació del català i Cat_ToBIBarcelona | 17 de juliol de 2009 The Cat_ToBI training materials

  2. Introduction • Large, prosodically labeled corpora are needed to understand the prosodic mechanismsthat dominate the spoken communication between humans. • ToBI: community-wide conventions to transcribe the prosody of spoken utterances in a language variety. Well-trained transcribers are required. NECESSARY • To provide a freely available manual to teach the system to new transcribers

  3. Aim • To develop a website with the Catalan ToBI Training Materials • explanations, • recorded examples of transcribed utterances, • interactive exercises with sounds and graphics, and • for the first time in the ToBI Training Materials, a basic ear training section.

  4. Website structure • Course guide • Ear training • Cat_ToBI Labeling system • Exercises • References

  5. Website structure • Course guide • Ear training • Cat_ToBI Labeling system • Exercises

  6. Course guide • Goals of the course • Description of the course • Core concepts • Glossary

  7. Website structure • Course guide • Ear training • Cat_ToBI Labeling system • Exercises

  8. Ear training • First step before being confronted with the actual intonation patterns • Stimuli: human voice • Goal: practice • Getting used: listening • Tone identification and discrimination: • high, • low, • rising and • falling pitch movements

  9. Ear training - Listening

  10. Ear training – Pitch identification

  11. Ear training – Pitch discrimination

  12. Ear training – Pair sounds ordering

  13. Ear training – Pitch identification in context: counting sounds

  14. Ear training – Pitch identification in context: locating sounds

  15. Website structure • Course guide • Ear training • Cat_ToBI Labeling system • Exercises

  16. Cat_ToBI Labeling system • Uses of Cat_ToBI • Description of the system • Prosodic phrasing • Tonal representation

  17. Description of the system • The Orthographic Tier • The Phonetic Transcription Tier (IPA) • The Break Index Tier for indices of cohesion • The Tone Tier for the intonational analysis • The Miscellaneous Tier for other information

  36. Final remarks • Web analytics Google Analytics’ detailed statistics about the website visitors.

  37. Final remarks • Web analytics Google Analytics’ detailed statistics about the website visitors. -Amount of pageviews over time -Average time spent on the site -Number of page views per session -Users' geographical dispersion

  38. Uses and applications 1. Training transcribers • Training transcribers of Catalan speech databases in the AM framework. • Helping naïve transcribers of different languages before being faced with the labeling systems: • without assuming any background in linguistics or speech sciences, new labelers can perform a set of ear-training exercises before they start transcribing on their own. • Helping transcribers to be consistent. • This is the last of the five requirements of the ToBI systems: to check inter-coder agreement by means of consistency tests.

  39. Uses and applications 2. Conducting research • By searching the corpus on the prosodic phenomena. • Using the corpus as an annotated database to obtain quantitative results. • Using the prosodic analysis and quantitative data for speech synthesis. • Allowing easy inter-linguistic comparisons. 3. Learning and Teaching • Learning Catalan prosody in an autonomous way. • Teaching Catalan prosody both to students oflinguistics and to L2 learners.

  40. Ongoing projects • Teaching: MA courses • Consistence tests: reliability among transcribers • Twin site: Sp_ToBI Training Materials Near future • Expansion: method to be used by other ToBI systems • Laboratório de Fonética, CLUL, Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de Lisboa • Institut für Linguistik, Universität zu Köln
