Introduction

CALLHOME Japanese Lexicon was developed by the Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) and contains 80,688 Japanese words with morphological, phonological and stress information derived from 80 transcripts representing unscripted telephone conversations between native Japanese speakers contained in CALLHOME Japanese Transcripts (LDC96T18).

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) orthographic form in kanji or katakana or hiragana (in only written in hiragana); (2) orthographic form in hiragana; (3)  orthographic form in romaji (romanization); (4) pronunciation of the headword; (5) morphological analysis of the headword; (6) frequency of the headword in the transcripts; and (7) glosses of the headword.

Corresponding transcripts (LDC96T18) and the telephone speech dataset (LDC96S37) are available separately.
