We are happy to announce that the ParlaSpeech-SI, the Slovenian version of the ParlaSpeech speech corpora, is now available via the CLARIN.SI NoSketch Engine concordancer. ParlaSpeech-SI contains 4.080 hours of parliamentary speech, with the accompanying transcriptions from the ParlaMint-SI corpus.

ParlaSpeech-SI is already available for browsing via the CLARIN.SI concordance tool. On this occasion, we would also like to invite you to the CLASSLA-express 3.0 workshop, which will take place on September 16 at the Faculty of Computer and Information Science within the Language Technologies and Digital Humanities conference.

The corpus includes rich metadata about the speakers and automatic annotations at both the text level, such as sentiment and topic, and the speech level, including filled and silent pauses. You can send feedback within the next two weeks to helpdesk.classla@clarin.si. After this period, we will prepare the final version and publish it in the CLARIN.SI repository. We welcome all comments, remarks and suggestions from users.

In this workshop, you will gain hands-on experience using the ParlaSpeech and CLASSLA-web corpora to study language variation. Registration is now open via the following form.

You are cordially invited to try ParlaSpeech-SI and participate in the workshop!
