Anne-Catherine Simon, Michel Francard, Philippe Hambye · Oxford University Press eBooks · 2013
VALIBEL research centre hosts one of the largest speech bank of spoken French. This speech bank is not a homogenous corpus, tailored for a single purpose, but rather a compilation of corpora, collected with a wide range of linguistic applications in mind and integrated into a database allowing for various kinds of investigations. This contribution gives a thorough description of this database, with a special attention for the features that are of interest for research in phonology such a transcription, annotation and management of metadata.
