University of Haifa<\/span><\/p>

The <\/span>Haifa Corpus of Spoken Hebrew<\/span><\/i> includes audio recordings of informal spontaneous Hebrew<\/span> interactions between students, their friends and relatives, collected during the years 1986-2018<\/span>. Most interactions took place face-to-face; there are 4 phone conversations. The corpus consists of 266 conversations ranging in length from 1 to 9 minutes each, 2-5 participants per interaction, among 770 different interlocutors, comprising over 12 hours of talk (approximately 735 minutes).<\/span><\/p>

The <\/span>Haifa Corpus of Spoken Hebrew<\/span><\/i> also includes 80 interactions recorded and transcribed by Dr. Gonen Dori-Hacohen, altogether 390 minutes of talk between hosts and callers, which took place on three different call-in radio programs on the two leading public stations in Israel. More information about this corpus can be found in Dori-Hacohen (2012). (Please note that transcription (see below) of the radiophonic data is far less accurate).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Transcription Conventions<\/span><\/p>

Transcription basically follows Chafe (1994), as sometimes adapted by Du Bois et al. (1992) and Du Bois (2012), with a few additions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Each line denotes an intonation unit (Chafe 1994)<\/span><\/p>

.. \u00a0 \u2013\u00a0 perceptible pause of less than 0.1 second<\/span><\/p>

… \u00a0 \u2013\u00a0 average pause (0.1 \u2264 x < 1.0 seconds)<\/span><\/p>

….\u00a0 \u2013\u00a0 pause (1.0 \u2264 x < 1.5 seconds)<\/span><\/p>

…. \u2013 pause (1.5 \u2264 x < 2.0 seconds)<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0(3.56) \u2013 measured pause of 3.56 seconds<\/span><\/p>

, \u2013 comma at end of line \u2013 continuing intonation (\u2018more to come\u2019)<\/span><\/p>

. \u2013 period at end of line \u2013 sentence-final falling intonation<\/span><\/p>

? \u2013 question mark at end of line \u2013 sentence-final \u2018appeal intonation\u2019\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

?, \u2013 question mark followed by comma \u2013 \u2018continuing appeal\u2019 intonation\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

! \u2013 exclamation mark at end of line \u2013 sentence final exclamatory intonation<\/span><\/p>

\u00f8 \u2013 lack of punctuation at end of line \u2013 a fragmentary intonation unit, one which never reached completion.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

— two hyphens \u2013 elongation of preceding sound<\/span><\/p>

un<\/span>derlined syllable \u2013 primary stress of intonation unit<\/span><\/p>

bold<\/b>faced syllable \u2013 secondary stress of intonation unit<\/span><\/p>

@ \u2013 a burst of laughter (each additional @ symbol denotes an additional burst)<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0square bracket to the left of two consecutive lines indicates<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0beginning of overlapping speech, two speakers talking at once<\/span><\/p>

alignment such that the right of the top line\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0is placed over the left of the bottom line indicates latching, no interturn pause<\/span><\/p>

Musical notation as necessary, e.g.: <\/span>f<\/span><\/i> \u2013 <\/span>forte<\/span><\/i> (loud), <\/span>ff<\/span><\/i> \u2013 <\/span>fortissimo <\/span><\/i>(very loud),\u00a0 <\/span>p<\/span><\/i> \u2013 <\/span>piano<\/span><\/i> (soft), <\/span>pp<\/span><\/i> \u2013 <\/span>pianissimo<\/span><\/i> (very soft), <\/span>cresc \u2013 crescendo <\/span><\/i>(progressively louder),\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

dim \u2013 diminuendo<\/span><\/i> (progressively softer), <\/span>acc<\/span><\/i> \u2013 <\/span>accelerando<\/span><\/i> (progressively faster), <\/span>ritard \u2013 ritardando<\/span><\/i> (progressively slower), <\/span>staccato<\/span><\/i> \u2013 (very short), <\/span>sfz \u2013 sforzando<\/span><\/i> (a strong, sudden accent).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

' \u2013 uninverted quotation mark indicates the glottal stop phoneme.<\/span><\/p>

\u2019 \u2013 inverted quotation mark in a transliterated word indicates an elided form (e.g., '<\/span>an\u2019lo<\/span><\/i> instead of <\/span>'ani lo<\/span><\/i> (lit. \u2018I not\u2019, \u2018I don\u2019t\u2019 \/ \u2018I\u2019m not\u2019))<\/span><\/p>

– one hyphen \u2013 bound-morpheme boundary<\/span><\/p>

\/words within slashes\/ indicate uncertain transcription<\/span><\/p>
