The Partitur Format at BAS
(1997)
Most spoken language resources are produced and disseminated together with symbolic information relating to the speech signal. These are for instance orthographic transcript labeling and segmentation on the phonologic phoneti prosodic phrasal level. Most of the known formats for these symbolic data are defined in a ‘closed form’ that is not fexible enough to allow simple and platform independent processing and easy extensions.
At the Bavarian Archive for Speech Signals (BAS) a new format has been developed and used over the last few years that shows some significant advantages over other existing formats. This paper describes the basic principles behind this format discusses briefly the advantages and gives detailed definitions of the description levels used so far.
The vowel quality in some diphthongs of Swabian (an upper german dialect) was determined by measurement of first and second formant values. A minimal contrast could be shown between two different diphthong qualities […], where for Standard German only one is assumed, viz. /ai/. The two diphthong qualities differ only slightly in onset and offset vowel quality, so a better understanding of their relationship was expected from an examination of their dynamic aspects. Our preliminary results suggest that there is indeed a difference in the temporal structure of the two diphthongs.
