Subject: C-ORAL-ESQ: A corpus for the study of spontaneous speech of individuals with schizophrenia


We are pleased to announce the publication of the C-ORAL-ESQ corpus.
C-ORAL-ESQ is a spontaneous speech corpus of Brazilian individuals
with schizophrenia, comprising 43 recordings of psychiatric
consultations — 19 audio-video recordings and 23 audio-only
recordings. Each recording documents a consultation that is part of
ongoing treatment provided by two public health institutions in Belo
Horizonte, Brazil: Instituto Raul Soares (IRS-FHEMIG) and the Hospital
das Clínicas da UFMG (HC-UFMG/EBSERH).
The corpus contains 103,633 words, including 47,828 words produced by
patients, 48,069 by physicians, 7,090 by companions, and 646 by other
intervenients. The data is segmented into prosodic units following the
criteria established for the C-ORAL-ROM corpora (Cresti & Moneglia,
2005), later adopted by the C-ORAL-BRASIL corpus (Raso & Melo, 2012).
C-ORAL-ESQ is audio-text(-video) aligned using the ELAN software. It
is also annotated for part-of-speech using the Palavras parser (Bick,
2000), adapted to the C-ORAL-BRASIL format (Bick, 2012), and includes
syntactic annotation based on Constraint Grammar dependencies (Bick,
2023).
The C-ORAL-ESQ corpus is freely available for download at its official
website: www.c-oral-brasil.org/c-oral-esq-en.php. Supplementary
materials — including the PoS-annotated textual corpus, participant
metadata, patient clinical information, frequency lists, and more —
are also provided.
