Annotating Syllable Corpora with Linguistic Data Categories in XML

The usefulness of high quality annotated corpora as a development aid in computational linguistic applications is now well understood. Therefore it is necessary to have systematic, easily understandable and effective means for annotating corpora at many levels of linguistic description using. This paper presents a three step methodology for annotating speech corpora using linguistic data categories in XML and provides a concrete example of how such an annotated corpus can be exploited and further enhanced by a syllable recognition system.
