Abstract

TalkBank promotes the use of corpora, web-based access, multimedia linkage, and human language technology (HLT) for the study of spoken language interactions in a variety of discourse types across many languages, involving children, second language learners, bilinguals, people with language disorders, and classroom learners. Integration of these materials within CLARIN provides open access to access a large amount of research data, as well as a test bed for the development of new computational methods.

Keywords
