Abstract:
This paper presents an operational annotation system for (dis)fluencies in typical and atypical speech, based on existing standard annotation schemes previously established in the literature. Grounded in a functional approach to (dis)fluency, we address some of the conceptual and technical limitations found in previous annotation models, and offer an integrated and inclusive system which is compatible with different multi-layered annotation software such as Praat or ELAN. Our aim is twofold: to create comparable annotated corpora both in typical and atypical speech, and to provide natural language processing and the health sector with applications for diagnostic and therapy in speech disorders.
