Development of World Maritime English Speech Database and Maritime English Vocabulary Development Software

在世界各地航行的水手们所接触到的是各种各样的“口音”英语，这些英语是受说话者的第一语言的影响，而不是母语者所说的英语。因此，本研究的重点是建立世界海事英语语音数据库（www 2。海游台。AC.日本/高木/pweb/wme. htm）及海事英语词汇发展计划（www. e.海游台。AC. jp/MT/mei-hp/mevdev. html）。

Mariners who sail all over the world are exposed to various "accented" English influenced by the speakers' first languages rather than the English spoken by native speakers. Thus, the present research project focused on creating the World Maritime English Speech Database(www2. kaiyodai. ac. jp/～takagi/pweb/wme. htm) and the Maritime English Vocabulary Development Program using speech files contained in the database(www. e. kaiyodai. ac. jp/MT/mei-hp/mevdev. html).
