Subject: A Toolbox for Phonologizing French Speech Corpora

 
A toolbox containing an automatic French text phonologizer that transforms
orthographic transcriptions of speech into approximate phonological
transcriptions taking into account four phonological rules has been made
available on GitHub:

https://github.com/juliacarbajal/french_phonologizer

The toolbox is tailored for use with CHILDES corpora. That is, it contains a
module that takes as its input speech transcriptions written in CHAT format
and returns an orthographic transcription of the utterances produced by
adults, without any annotations. This in turn serves as the input to the
phonologizer module.

All scripts are written in Python 2 and are easy to modify. In particular,
phonological rules may be added, removed or modified, according to the user’s
needs and insights.

This GitHub repository also contains a short paper describing the toolbox, as
well as an example of a phonologized corpus of infant-directed speech. If you
use the toolbox and/or the sample corpus, please cite the paper.
