本文介绍了最近完成的通用资源，用于研究语言研究，即NXT-Format总机板语料库。总机是电话对话长期存在的语料库（Godfrey等人。在总机：研发电话语料库中。我们已经将抄录汇总到现有的语法，流浪性，语音行为，动画，信息状态，核心和韵律的注释；除了重点/对比度，更多的韵律，音节和手机的大量新注释。组合语料库使用列Nite XML工具包的格式，该格式允许将这些注释作为连贯集浏览并搜索（Carletta等人。由此产生的语料库是研究对话的语言特征及其相互作用的丰富资源。除了描述语料库本身外，我们还讨论了我们克服此类数据集成项目中涉及的问题的方法，与语料库的用户和语言资源社区中的其他人有关，从而从事类似的项目。
This paper describes a recently completed common resource for the study of spoken discourse, the NXT-format Switchboard Corpus. Switchboard is a long-standing corpus of telephone conversations (Godfrey et al. in SWITCHBOARD: Telephone speech corpus for research and development. In Proceedings of ICASSP-92, pp. 517-520, 1992). We have brought together transcriptions with existing annotations for syntax, disfluency, speech acts, animacy, information status, coreference, and prosody; along with substantial new annotations of focus/contrast, more prosody, syllables and phones. The combined corpus uses the format of the NITE XML Toolkit, which allows these annotations to be browsed and searched as a coherent set (Carletta et al. in Lang Resour Eval J 39(4):313-334, 2005). The resulting corpus is a rich resource for the investigation of the linguistic features of dialogue and how they interact. As well as describing the corpus itself, we discuss our approach to overcoming issues involved in such a data integration project, relevant to both users of the corpus and others in the language resource community undertaking similar projects.
