Interaction of technology and methodology in building and sharing an annotated learner corpus of spoken German

Konferenzbeitrag

This paper discusses the technological and methodological challenges in creating and sharing HAMATAC, the Hamburg Map Task Corpus. The first version of the corpus, consisting of 24 recordings with orthographic transcriptions and metadata, is publicly available. A second version featuring different types of linguistic annotation is in progress. I will describe how the various software tools and data formats of the EXMARaLDA system were used for transcription and multi-level annotation, to compile recordings and transcriptions into a corpus and manage metadata, to publish the corpus, and how they can be used for carrying out corpus queries (KWIC) and analyses. Some recurrent issues in corpus building and sharing and the interaction of technological and methodological aspects will be illustrated using HAMATAC.
