Over the past 2 days I have been in Sydney to work with Australia's best linguists and phoneticians to develop protocols for the Big ASC: Big Australian Speech Corpus. The aim of the project is to collect high quality audio and video recordings of Australian adults' speech from across the country. The data will be loaded into the Australian National Corpus for people across the world to use in their research.
Future funding applications may enable the development of the Little ASC of Australian children.
