***9978056The goal of TalkBank is the creation of a distributed, web-based data archiving system for transcribed video and audio data on communicative interactions. These interactions will include mothers talking with their children, family dinner table talk, classroom interactions, animal cries, signed language, formal debates, phone calls, talk with foreigners, club meetings, and dozens of other types of communicative interactions. The data will come from speakers of many languages, professions, and ages. Some speakers will have language disabilities and some will be language learners.The formal specification for data in TalkBank will use an a system of annotationa graphs called Codon. Tools will be created for the entry of new and existing data into the Codon format; transcriptions will be linked to speech and video; and there will be extensive support for collaborative commentary from competing perspectives.Researchers will be able to locate a particular segment of an interaction and immediately play back that section on their computer monitors. TalkBank will facilitate comparisons across social groups, languages, and situations. It will also provide tools for working in detail on single populations, as well as collaborative commentaries that test competing interpretations against a constant set of data.The initiative establishes an ongoing interaction between computer scientists, linguists, psychologists, sociologists, political scientists, criminologists, educators, ethologists, cinematographers, psychiatrists, and anthropologists.

* 9978056 TalkBank的目标是创建一个分布式的、基于Web的数据存档系统，用于转录有关通信交互的视频和音频数据。这些互动将包括母亲与孩子交谈、家庭餐桌谈话、课堂互动、动物叫声、手语、正式辩论、电话、与外国人交谈、俱乐部会议以及其他数十种类型的交流互动。 这些数据将来自不同语言、职业和年龄的人。 一些说话者可能有语言障碍，一些人可能是语言学习者。TalkBank中数据的正式规范将使用一个称为Codon的注释图系统。 将创建工具，用于将新的和现有的数据输入到Codon格式中; transmittance将与语音和视频链接;将广泛支持来自竞争视角的协作评论。研究人员将能够定位交互的特定片段，并立即在计算机显示器上回放该部分。TalkBank将促进跨社会群体，语言和情况的比较。 它还将提供对单一人群进行详细研究的工具，以及针对一组恒定数据测试竞争性解释的协作评论。该倡议建立了计算机科学家、语言学家、心理学家、社会学家、政治学家、犯罪学家、教育家、动物行为学家、电影摄影师、精神病学家和人类学家之间的持续互动。
