Ces bases de données incluent des statistiques distributionnelles pour chaque unité linguistique (phonèmes, syllabes, mots, morphèmes), notamment la fréquence normalisée, les fréquences de cooccurrence, les probabilités de transition et l’information mutuelle (pour des groupes de deux à trois unités). Des informations sur la structure des syllabes sont également disponibles. Les bases de données sont accessibles aux formats XLSX et CSV.

SyllabO+ is a corpus and databases dedicated spoken French in Québec, at the sub-lexical and lexical levels, recorded in the province of Quebec, Canada, from 2012 to 2016. For more information, consult our website: syllabo.speechneurolab.ca The SyllabO+ corpus contains the transcriptions of 225 adult native speakers of Quebec French in formal and informal communication contexts. All recordings represent natural speech, that is, no text was read, and conversations were not scripted.

All syllables and phones are transcribed in international phonetic alphabet (IPA) to represent the articulation accurately. SyllabO+ includes a set of 225 XML files (one per talker) as well as a series of databases: phones, syllables, words, lemmas and morphemes. Importantly, these databases include the distributional statistics for each unit of language (phones, syllables, words, morphemes), including normalized frequency, co-occurrence frequencies, transition probabilities and mutual information (for groups of two to three units).

Information about syllable structure is also available. The databases are available as XLSX and CSV.
