Hi<br>
<br>
I would like to get some recommendations from the ELAR team, or anyone<br>
who could help (feel free to forward this email), on how to archive<br>
the work I have done so far. You wrote "You can even invent your own<br>
system as long as you document it and use it consistently."<br>
(<a href="http://www.hrelp.org/archive/depositors/key_points.html" target="_blank">http://www.hrelp.org/archive/depositors/key_points.html</a>)<br>
<br>
The issue I have is that I worked with Flex (for lexicon,<br>
interlinearization, translation and comments), and all my segmentation<br>
was done in Praat Textgrid. So I have all the necessary information,<br>
but they aren't linked! The Praat Textgrid contains dummy markers for<br>
(i.e. A, B, C) representing paragraphs/text blocks in Flex. Do you<br>
know people who manage to merge the two (i.e. annotate their text in<br>
Flex with the Praat time information of the textgrid). I doubt, but if<br>
it is possible. How do they do that?<br>
<br>
I know I can use ELAN, but the project developed without the use of<br>
ELAN, for different reasons, one being that doing the<br>
interlinearization work in ELAN doesn't 'feed' the lexicon, which I<br>
like to build in Flex. Do you know someone who could help in a<br>
procedure which could bring an interlinearized Flex .xml file and a<br>
praat textgrid together in ELAN?<br>
<br>
But, crucially, do I have to do all this at this point (my project is<br>
over and need to submit to the archive)? I would think that 'Yes', but<br>
I would like to have your opinion on that. I am ready to merge them in<br>
ELAN, but need to know how, but I could also document my "own system"<br>
and bundle a flex .xml file, the .wav file, and the Praat Textgrid.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
