KIParla - Stra-ParlaTO transcripts

The Stra-ParlaTO corpus is part of the larger KIParla collection, which can be freely queried through the NoSketch Engine interface. The Stra-ParlaTO corpus was compiled within the framework of the “DiverSIta – Diversity in spoken Italian” project (PI: Caterina Mauri), funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) – Mission 4 Education and research (MUR project code P2022RFR8T, CUP J53D23017320001). It consists of approximately 48 hours of spoken data (ca. 27 hours of semi-structured interviews and ca. 21 hours of free conversation) collected in Turin and its province, involving speakers of Italian as a foreign or second language, within the Romanian, Moroccan, and Peruvian communities. The interactions, recorded in 2025, involved 139 speakers with different origins, ages, education levels, and occupations. The transcriptions have been anonymised. Overall, the module is made up of 82 conversations. This repository contains: - metadata for both speakers (occupation, gender, age, origin, L1, educational achievement, age of arrival in Italy, and years spent in Italy) and conversations (collection point, community, year, languages used), in the metadata subfolder - descriptions of the set of transcription conventions used for this module - for each conversation you will find: .eaf file in eaf/ folder (time-aligned Jefferson-style transcriptions) .txt file in linear-jefferson/ folder (linearized Jefferson-style transcription) .txt file in linear-orthographic/ folder (linearized transcription retaining only orthographic words) .tsv file in tsv/ folder (tokenised version of the transcription). More information can be found in the README.md file. Due to GDPR restrictions, pseudo-anonymized audio files (MP3) are available under a restricted-access license.
