Hong Kong Cantonese Corpus (HKCanCor) 香港粵語語料庫

These are the transcriptions of the Hong Kong Cantonese Corpus (HKCanCor) 香港粵語語料庫 created by Luke Kang Kwong [email protected].

Introduction 簡介

The Hong Kong Cantonese Corpus was collected from transcribed conversations that were recorded between March 1997 and August 1998. About 230,000 Chinese words were collected in the annotated corpus. It contains recordings of spontaneous speech (51 texts) and radio programmes (42 texts), which involve 2 to 4 speakers, with 1 text of monologue. The text were word-segmented, annotated with part-of-speech tagging and Cantonese pronunciation using the romanisation scheme of Linguistic Society of Hong Kong (LSHK).

香港粵語語料庫收錄了在1997年3月至1998年8月期間修錄整理的粵語談話內容。本語料庫修錄了93段2至4人的對話（其中51段是在交談時錄音所得﹐另外42段由電台節目剪輯而成）和1段個人獨白﹐修錄詞語合計約有230,000個。語料以詞語作單位切分﹐並標上發音及詞性。發音部份使用了香港語言學學會(LSHK)的粵拼標準。
