Job Location:  ---------------- (Telecommute)
Web Address: http://www.bilingualism.bangor.ac.uk
Job Rank: Consultant  

Specialty Areas: CHAT/CLAN; Transcription

Required Language(s): Spanish (spa)

Description:

Help required from Spanish-speaking users of CHAT/CLAN. This is a request 
for short-term help from competent users of CLAN/CHAT in completing a 
transcription project. 

At the ESRC Centre for Research on Bilingualism in Bangor, U.K. we are 
currently doing final pre-publication work on a Welsh-Spanish corpus of 
spoken conversations from Patagonia and an English-Spanish corpus from 
Miami. Both will be available under a free license (the GPL).

Some of our team who were working on the corpora have moved on in the 
last couple of months to other jobs, so there are a few areas where external 
input would help us to achieve our target publication dates in the next couple 
of months. The transcription of the corpora follows the conventions of the well-
known CHAT/CLAN system (http://childes.psy.cmu.edu/clan), and the 
transcriptions will be presented with the spoken text, a part-of-speech layer, 
and an English translation of non-English text.

We are seeking input from anyone who is fluent in Spanish, and who is also 
familiar with the CHAT/CLAN system, to help us with checking the accuracy 
of some of the Spanish transcriptions. The task would be to listen to the audio 
file while following the draft transcription and correcting any errors. Payment 
(£14 per hour) would be made in arrears on presentation of an invoice to the 
ESRC Centre.

Collaborators will be named in the headers of the published files, and on the 
website (http://bangortalk.org.uk/collaborators.php). Applications to include a 
CV sent to bilingualism at bangor.ac.uk as soon as possible with a brief 
statement regarding candidates' competence in Spanish and their experience 
using CHAT and CLAN, plus the names and contact details of two referees.
