The Centre de Recherches Europes-Eurasie-CREE (Inalco) is honored to invite you to the international colloquium: "La linguistique de l'oral spontané à travers les langues: création, annotation et analyse de corpus, segmentation du discours".

Scientific event summary

The aim of this colloquium is to bring into dialogue linguistic or psycho-/sociolinguistic approaches that tackle language and spontaneous, monologous or interacting oral discourse, through the question of the constitution and analysis of oral corpora, which poses specific and different problems from those encountered for written language corpora, namely transcription, segmentation, coherence relations and annotation of oral discourse. Indeed, while there are many written language corpora, sometimes drawing on the considerable quantities of data made available by the Internet, resources for oral speech remain modest, particularly for spontaneous speech in everyday interactions. This symposium is organized as part of the project to build a Corpus of Russian Oral Interaction.
