This folder contains all the TextGrid files from the Ravnur Project. The audio recordings can be obtained by downloading BLARK 1.0.
Each of the folders have been divided into two folders:
- Rdata1 contains the first round of audio recordings. The sound files have been manually transcribed as textgrids. They are divided into ‘ortho-phone’ that include both orthographic and phonetic transcriptions, and ‘ortho’ that contains textgrids with only orthographic transcriptions.
- Rdata2 countains the second round of audio recordings. The sound files have been transcribed using the Ravnur tool ‘PushPrompt’, and then manually revised. The sound files from Rdata2 have yet to be trimmed for pause. We recommend using the L.O.B.E. recording client (https://github.com/cadia-lvl/LOBE) to trim the recordings.
The names of the sound files correspond to the names of their transcriptions. All textgrids are in ISO-8859-10 encoding. The textgrid transcriptions are very detailed and high quality.
All textgrids contain the following:
for each informant:
- an orthography tier
- a SAMPA tier
- a comments tier
for each interviewer (if there is an interviewer present):
- an orthography tier
- a SAMPA tier
- a comments tier
tiers not specific for any speaker:
- a global comments tier for comments on background noise etc.
- a sound comments tier for comments on irregular sound waves.
