Hello again,
A second question, on a different thread for clarity: does anybody have 
experience with text and phonetic transcription? Specifically, I have 
transcriptions of interviews made 30-40 years ago in a form of regional 
French that only had 40 speakers at the time. I have 1) IPA 
transcriptions, with one or two local conventions for pauses, etc. and 
2) reformulations in standard French. The variety being exclusively 
oral, this is all I have. Now, I would imagine that I could do this 
either as a corpus and its "translation" or as a single corpus with the 
transcriptions as sentence-level attributs <s trans="..."> or something 
like that. Would the first type allow for searches that start with the 
IPA transcription? The second type appears of rather limited interest, 
since searches would need to start with the reformulation. One last 
question: I think that the audio could be linked to the files as 
metadata. Is this right?
In short, any accounts of user experiences with similar corpora would be 
very helpful!
Best,
Graham.
