El 8 de agosto invitamos al Dr. George Moroz a una charla online a las 13 horas, en la que presentará la librería phonfieldwork para el lenguaje de programación R, un desarrollo de su autoría destinado a facilitar el trabajo con datos fonéticos.

La charla tiene cupo limitado y será enteramente en inglés. Si querés participar, por favor completá este formulario. Si tenés alguna consulta, escribinos a gesel.contacto@gmail.com.

El evento cuenta con el aval del Instituto de Filología y Literaturas Hispánicas "Dr. Amado Alonso" de la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la Universidad de Buenos Aires. Las diapositivas de la charla están disponibles acá.

Phonetic fieldwork and experiments with phonfieldwork package for R

George Moroz (National Research University - Higher School of Economics, Rusia)

There are a lot of different typical tasks that have to be solved during phonetic research and experiments. This includes creating a presentation that will contain all stimuli, renaming and concatenating multiple sound files recorded during a session, automatic annotation in ‘Praat’ TextGrids (this is one of the sound annotation standards provided by ‘Praat’ software, see Boersma & Weenink 2018 http://www.fon.hum.uva.nl/praat/), creating an html table with annotations and spectrograms, and converting multiple formats (‘Praat’ TextGrid, ‘EXMARaLDA’, ‘ELAN’, subtitles .srt, and .txt from Audacity). All of these tasks can be solved by a mixture of different tools (any programming language has programs for automatic renaming, and Praat contains scripts for concatenating and renaming files, etc.). phonfieldwork provides a functionality that will make it easier to solve those tasks independently of any additional tools. You can also compare the functionality with other packages: ‘rPraat’, ‘textgRid’. During the talk I would like to show the functionality of the package and discuss your ideas about its development. Tutorial is available online. Knowledge of any programming language is not obligatory.
