LabPhon 13
The 13th Conference on Laboratory Phonology
Stuttgart, Germany, July 27-29, 2012
Advancing Prosodic Transcription for Spoken Language Science and Technology
A satellite workshop held in conjunction with LabPhon 13
in Stuttgart, Germany, July 30, 2012
Organizers: Jennifer Cole (U Illinois, USA) and Stefanie Shattuck-Hufnagel (MIT, USA)
Sponsored by the Association for Laboratory Phonology
We believe the time is ripe to review the major approaches to prosodic transcription that have been developed over the past few decades, compare their various motivations, strengths and challenges, and consider how to move forward toward a more comprehensive and more universally accepted approach to the prosodic labeling of large corpora. To this end we will be conducting a workshop with invited speakers who include developers of transcription systems as well as researchers who are using these systems in their investigation and/or developing large prosodically labelled corpora. In addition we invite submissions of one-page abstracts for an accompanying poster session. The work should address transcription systems or practices, the development of speech databases related to prosody, and/or the use of prosodic transcription in speech research.
- Abstract due date: Wednesday February 29, 2012
