TED Translanguage English Database

LDC reference: https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2002S04<p><p>The Translanguage English Database (TED) is a corpus of recordings made of oral presentations at Eurospeech'93 in Berlin. The corpus name derives from the high percentage of oral presentations given in English by non-native speakers of English. Two hundred twenty-four (224) oral presentations at the conference were successfully recorded, providing a total of about 75 hours of speech material. These recordings provide a large number of presenters, speaking multiple variants of English, over a relatively large amount of time (15 minutes for each presentation + 5 minutes of discussion), on a specific topic. This release of TED (6 CDROMs) includes 188 speeches, without the ensuing discussion periods. This database was produced with the support of ELSNET. Associated text materials consist of ASCII versions of over 400 proceedings papers and oral preparations that were supplied by the authors, as well as, 250 speaker questionnaires.

跨语言英语数据库（Translanguage English Database，TED）是一套收录1993年柏林欧洲语音会议（Eurospeech'93）口头演讲的录音语料库。该语料库的名称源自会议中英语非母语使用者以英语进行演讲的占比极高。本次共顺利录制会议中的224场口头演讲，累计语音素材时长约75小时。这些录音涵盖众多使用不同英语变体的演讲者，每场活动包含15分钟正式报告与5分钟讨论，时长相对充裕，且均围绕特定主题展开。

本次发布的TED数据集包含6张光盘，仅收录188场演讲，不含后续讨论环节。本数据集由ELSNET资助制作。配套文本资料包括作者提交的400余篇会议论文及口头报告筹备材料的ASCII版本，以及250份演讲者调查问卷。
