对比视角下汉语口语语料库的建立及应用:以主题结构研究为例

Compilation and Application of Chinese Spoken Corpus from a Contrastive Perspective:A Case Study of Topic Constructions

基于可比口语语料库进行主题结构研究,可以分析与挖掘不同语言中这一语法结构的异同。然而,与英语口语语料库相较,汉语口语语料库较为匮乏,一定程度上限制了汉语口语中主题结构的考察。本文比照圣巴巴拉美语口语语料库,探讨汉语口语语料的录制和转写问题,在此基础上,尝试建立一个相应的汉语可比口语语料库。之后,以主题结构研究为例,讨论可比语料库的语料标注与数据分析问题,以分析英汉主题结构的异同。

A contrastive study of comparable spoken corpus can reveal the similarities and differences of topic constructions in different languages.However,in contrast to English,there are rarely corpus of spo-ken Chinese.It limits the possibility of a contrastive study between Chinese and English topic constructions.The present study follows Santa Barbara Corpus of Spoken American English to explore how to record and transcribe spoken Chinese.A corpus of spoken Chinese is compiled comparable to the English one.After-wards,the study takes topic constructions as an example to explain how grammar study is carried out by u-sing grammatical annotation and data analysis in comparable English and Chinese corpus.Conclusions can be drawn on the similarities and differences of topic constructions between English and Chinese.
