| The CALLHOME Mandarin
Chinese collection includes a lexical component. The CALLHOME
Mandarin Lexicon consists of 44,405 words and contains separate
information fields with phonological, morphological and frequency
information for each word.
The token coverage by the LDC Mandarin lexicon of words occurring in the 20 LDC Mandarin CALLHOME devtest transcripts (ten minutes of conversation each) is 98%. Orthographic Chinese characters are GB-encoded and are simplified in the Mainland style. A representation of the headword in tone pinyin with strictly lexical tone, i.e. not reflecting phonetic/phonological processes is also provided. Here is a sample page from the lexicon. The transcripts and documentation (LDC96T16) are available separately, as is a corpus of telephone speech (LDC96S34). Content Copyright | |
