IntroductionLarge, prosodically labeled corpora are needed to understand the prosodic mechanisms that dominate the spoken communication between humans.ToBI: community-wide conventions to transcribe the prosody of spoken utterances in a language variety. Well-trained transcribers are required.
NECESSARYTo provide a freely available manual to teach the system to new transcribers
3
AimTo develop a website with the Catalan ToBI Training Materials
explanations, recorded examples of transcribed
utterances, interactive exercises with sounds and
graphics, and for the first time in the ToBI Training
Materials, a basic ear training section.

Ear training•First step before being confronted with the actual intonation patterns•Stimuli: human voice •Goal: practice
•Getting used: listening•Tone identification and discrimination:
•high,•low, •rising and •falling pitch movements

Uses and applications1. Training transcribers
Training transcribers of Catalan speech databases in the AM framework.Helping naïve transcribers of different languages before being faced with the labeling systems:
without assuming any background in linguistics or speech sciences, new labelers can perform a set of ear-training exercises before they start transcribing on their own.
Helping transcribers to be consistent.This is the last of the five requirements of the ToBI systems: to check inter-coder agreement by means of consistency tests.
49
Uses and applications2. Conducting research
By searching the corpus on the prosodic phenomena.Using the corpus as an annotated database to obtain quantitative results.Using the prosodic analysis and quantitative data for speech synthesis.Allowing easy inter-linguistic comparisons.
3. Learning and TeachingLearning Catalan prosody in an autonomous way.Teaching Catalan prosody both to students of linguistics and to L2 learners.

Ongoing projects Teaching: MA courses Consistence tests: reliability among
transcribers Twin site: Sp_ToBI Training Materials
