It is composed of over 5 hours of speech data together with annotations at several linguistic levels. These annotations currently include: phonemes, syllables, syllable constituents, rhythm units, stress feet, words, intonation units, together with the output of the automatic MOMEL modelling and INTSINT symbolic coding algorithms. The annotation is available both in the form of Praat TextGrids and in tabular form as an ascii text file.
