KIParla - ParlaBZ transcripts

The ParlaBZ corpus is part of the larger KIParla collection, which can be freely queried through the NoSketch Engine interface. It consists of approximately 5 hours of spoken data (linguistic biographies and free conversation) collected in Bolzano - Bozen and its province. The interactions, recorded between 2020 and 2022, involved 15 speakers with different origins, ages, education levels, and occupations. The transcriptions have been produced with particular attention to conversational features and have been subsequently anonymised. Overall, the module is made up of 10 conversations. This repository contains: - metadata for both speakers (occupation, gender, age, origin, educational achievement) and conversations (collection point, year), 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.
