Introduction
CALLHOME Mandarin Chinese Lexicon was developed by the Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) and contains 44,404 Mandarin Chinese words with morphological, phonological, stress and frequency information derived from transcripts representing unscripted telephone conversations between native Mandarin Chinese speakers contained in CALLHOME Mandarin Chinese Transcripts (LDC96T16) and from Chinese news text.
The CALLHOME series consists of telephone conversations, transcripts and lexicons developed by LDC and Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, in support of research in speaker identification, language identification and related technologies. Languages in the series include American English, Egyptian Arabic, German, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, and Spanish.
Data
The lexicon contains seven tab-separated information fields: (1) headword: orthographic representation of the word in hanzi (e.g., 没有); (2) pinyin: headword transcribed in pinyin (e.g., mei2 you3); (3) tone: tone sequence for headword (e.g., 2 3); (4) pron: pronunciation of headword without tone information (e.g., mey yow); (5) pos: part-of-speech tag for the headword; (6) xinhua_freq: frequency of the headword in Xinhua newswire text; and (7) train_freq: frequency of the headword in the CALLHOME transcripts.
Corresponding transcripts (LDC96T16) and the telephone speech dataset (LDC96S34). are available separately.
