Abstract
Althougn systems for the transcription of speech prosody have existed for a long time, the need to represent prosodic information in large-scale speech databases places new demands on such systems. The ToBI system recently developed in the USA differs in many interesting ways from conventional systems such as the “Standard British” system that has been in use for several decades. This paper discusses the differences in the context of current research on a machine-readable corpus of spoken English, and examines the possibility of converting automatically between the two types of transcription.
