During the first few years of my stay in the lab of Jacques Mehler, I did segmentation of speech to look for acoustic/phonetic cues that signal linguistic rhythm and other grammatical properties.
These studies were an extention of the results described in Ramus, Nespor & Mehler, 1999.
Here is the outline of how speech segmentation was carried out.
Preparing the material
This is an outline of how to go about adding a new language to the corpus, if you be so inclined. These are based on the original guidelines for the LSCP corpus, modified by me.
Segmentation of speech
This is the most important part; containing tricks for segmenting speech. Note that these are very rough heuristics, rather than detailed views of vowels and consonants. Some basic idea of these is helpful but not required.
