Generic Transcription Conventions (DRAFT!)

Bernhard Fisseni, Thomas Schmidt

Purpose

This describes the generic conventions for transcripts of spoken language that are supported by both the IDS TEILicht web services and this library. They are applied in the segmentize step of processing.

Specification and Examples

  1. The segmentation works on un-analysed <u> elements in a TEI-ISO transcript document, as it can be produced from the Simple EXMARaLDA format.

    Utterances <u> that contain anything besides text content and time <anchor>s are not analysed. Comments and processing instructions inside <u> will be removed. Whitespace will be normalized.

  2. An utterance <u> is mainly split into words that will be annotated as <w> elements and punctuation, which will become pc elements.

  3. Uncertain content is placed in single parentheses; parentheses are allowed to contain incomprehensible content.

    TIM: (Hallo) Tim!
TOM: (++++++ Tom!)

    It is not practical to use parentheses within parentheses.

  4. Pauses are indicated by full stops in parentheses. Pause lengths are determined by the number of full stops (short, medium, long, very+ long).

    TIM: Hallo (...) Wim!

Example document

The example document from the Simple EXMARaLDA format documentation is parsed as follows:
