为对话研究提供可复用的分层标注系统,支持语言学与技术应用。

Turn-taking annotation for quantitative and qualitative analyses of conversation

  • 构建双层对话标注体系:语调单位与潜在完成点。
  • 95分钟语料中,语调单位标注一致性近乎完美,完成点标注达显著水平。
  • 标注系统兼容语音分析与自动分类,适合跨学科研究使用。

本文旨在发布95分钟格拉茨朗读与自然对话语料(GRASS)的对话轮次标注层,供学术界使用。标注系统基于会话分析的序列标准设计,兼顾语音学分析需求,采用时间对齐标注方式,在Praat中完成;同时支持自动化分类,要求连续标注且标签体系简洁,以保证高评分者间一致性。标注分为两层:语调单位(IPU)和潜在完成点(PCOMP,类似转换相关位置)。文章详细说明了分割与标注标准,并对评分者间一致性及常见混淆进行了分析。结果显示,IPU标注一致性接近完美,PCOMP标注一致性达到显著水平,分歧多为部分性或因不同序列分析视角所致,均具合理性。该系统适用于多种对话数据,有助于推动语言学与技术领域的交叉融合。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

This paper has two goals. First, we present the turn-taking annotation layers created for 95 minutes of conversational speech of the Graz Corpus of Read and Spontaneous Speech (GRASS), available to the scientific community. Second, we describe the annotation system and the annotation process in more detail, so other researchers may use it for their own conversational data. The annotation system was developed with an interdisciplinary application in mind. It should be based on sequential criteria according to Conversation Analysis, suitable for subsequent phonetic analysis, thus time-aligned annotations were made Praat, and it should be suitable for automatic classification, which required the continuous annotation of speech and a label inventory that is not too large and results in a high inter-rater agreement. Turn-taking was annotated on two layers, Inter-Pausal Units (IPU) and points of potential completion (PCOMP; similar to transition relevance places). We provide a detailed description of the annotation process and of segmentation and labelling criteria. A detailed analysis of inter-rater agreement and common confusions shows that agreement for IPU annotation is near-perfect, that agreement for PCOMP annotations is substantial, and that disagreements often are either partial or can be explained by a different analysis of a sequence which also has merit. The annotation system can be applied to a variety of conversational data for linguistic studies and technological applications, and we hope that the annotations, as well as the annotation system will contribute to a stronger cross-fertilization between these disciplines.
