Short Course Description
This course gives an introduction to the use of digital methods for processing spoken and written speech. As main tools for speech analysis the Praat and Typecraft software will be used. The analysis involves transcription using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), segmentation and annotation of speech recordings. Text material will be analyzed morphologically and words and morphemes will be annotated using several tiers of annotation. The build-up and management of small corpora and develop and understanding of standards for text analysis and their implementation is part of the pensum.
