of spontaneous spoken dialogues
Gernot A. Fink, Michaela Johanntokrax and Brigitte Schaffranietz
Abstract
Orthographic transcriptions of speech are important in most fields of research
concerned with spoken language. For spontaneous speech they have to be created
manually, resulting potentially in inconsistent or erroneous transcriptions.
We propose a new flexible and easy-to-use formal language for the orthographic
transcription of sponataneous speech. All relevant phenomenoma introduced by
spontaneous spoken dialogues are covered. The transcription serves as a meta-language
from which various representations for different purposes can be generated
automatically.
