corpus NECTE - DECTE (Paris Diderot, 3-4 juin 2013)

[Nicolas Ballier]

*corpus interoperability and spoken diachronic databases : the 
NECTE-DECTE corpora*

http://www.clillac-arp.univ-paris-diderot.fr/evenements/necte_decte_interop_2013


This two-day workshop presents some 50 years of sociolinguistic surveys 
of Geordie encapsulated in theNECTE 
<http://research.ncl.ac.uk/necte>andDECTE 
<http://research.ncl.ac.uk/decte>corpora. In the wake of Beal, Corrigan 
and Moisl 2007 selection of papers, the two corpora are discussed by 
linguists investigating syntactic, prosodic and phonetic features, 
questioning the connections between linguistic data, corpus annotation, 
linguistic research questions and technological queries.

*Paris DIDEROT ,Olympe de Gouges 
<http://www.ums-riate.fr/plan_ODG.html>, 5 rue Thomas Mann, salle 153 , 
3-4 June 2013*
Day 1 (afternoon) presents the corpora and how they have been used so 
far. Day 2 (morning) discusses the formats, tools and potential 
suggestions for the synchronisation of textual/syntactic/phonetic/sound 
data and the possibilities to query both corpora at the same time.

The workshop is free but limited to 50 participants. Participants are 
advised to register individually to have free access to the corpus 
before hand and to download sample files from the NECTEwebsite
