DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The over-arching goal of this program of research is to understand how listeners recognize phonological variants of spoken words (e.g., [went, went]) as the words intended by the talker (e.g., [went]). Experimentation can be most productive and performed most knowledgeably with an accurate description (acoustic and phonological) of pronunciation variation in English. The aim of the present proposal is to make it possible to develop such descriptions by completing phonetic transcription of a 300,000-word corpus of conversational speech. When transcription is finished, not only will we use it for this purpose, but the corpus will be made available to researchers in the speech sciences. User-friendly software to analyze and search the corpus, along with a host of supporting material (instruction manuals, tutorials, user forum) will also be provided to facilitate and encourage its use.

描述（由申请人提供）：该研究计划的首要目标是了解听众如何将口语单词的语音变体（例如，[went，went]）识别为说话者想要表达的单词（例如，[went]）。通过对英语发音变化的准确描述（声学和音韵），实验可以是最有成效的，并且可以最有见识地进行。本提案的目的是通过完成 300,000 字会话语音语料库的语音转录来开发此类描述。转录完成后，我们不仅会将其用于此目的，而且还将向语音科学研究人员提供语料库。还将提供用于分析和搜索语料库的用户友好软件以及大量支持材料（说明手册、教程、用户论坛），以促进和鼓励其使用。
