Talkbank

TalkBank is a project organized by Brian MacWhinney at Carnegie Mellon University with the support and cooperation of hundreds of contributors and dozens of collaborators. The goal of TalkBank is to foster fundamental research in the study of human communication with an emphasis on spoken communication. Currently, TalkBank provides repositories in 14 research areas, as represented by the links on this page. Data in TalkBank have been contributed by hundreds of researchers working in over 34 languages internationally who are committed to principles of open data-sharing. These data are used by thousands of researchers resulting in many thousands of published articles. Data in TalkBank use a consistent XML-compatible representation called CHAT which facilitates automatic analysis and searching, using open-source and free programs we have developed.

TalkBank 是由卡内基梅隆大学（Carnegie Mellon University）的布莱恩·麦克温尼（Brian MacWhinney）发起的项目，得到了数百位贡献者与数十位合作者的支持与协作。该项目旨在推动人类传播研究中的基础研究，尤其聚焦于口语传播方向。目前，TalkBank 提供覆盖14个研究领域的语料库，对应本页面中的各类链接。TalkBank 中的数据由全球34余种语言领域的数百位研究者贡献，这些研究者均遵循开放数据共享的原则。这些数据已被数千位研究者使用，衍生出数万篇已发表的学术论文。TalkBank 的数据采用统一的兼容可扩展标记语言（XML）的表示格式，命名为CHAT，该格式可借助我们开发的开源免费程序，实现自动化分析与检索。
