The Santa Barbara Corpus represents a wide variety of people of different regional origins, ages, occupations, genders, and ethnic and social backgrounds. The predominant form of language use represented is face-to-face conversation, but the corpus also documents many other ways that that people use language in their everyday lives: telephone conversations, card games, food preparation, on-the-job talk, classroom lectures, sermons, story-telling, town hall meetings, tour-guide spiels, and more.</p> <p>The Santa Barbara Corpus was compiled by researchers in the Linguistics Department of the University of California, Santa Barbara. The Director of the Santa Barbara Corpus is John W. Du Bois, working with Associate Editors Wallace L. Chafe and Sandra A. Thompson (all of UC Santa Barbara), and Charles Meyer (UMass, Boston). For the publication of Parts 3 and 4, the authors are John W. Du Bois and Robert Englebretson.</p> <p>The Santa Barbara Corpus of Spoken American English also forms part of the <a href="http://www.ucl.ac.uk/english-usage/ice/index.htm" target="_blank">International Corpus of English</a> (ICE). The Santa Barbara Corpus provides the main source of data for the spontaneous spoken portions of the American component of the International Corpus of English. In order to meet the specific design specifications of the International Corpus of English (allowing comparison between American and other national varieties of English), the Santa Barbara Corpus data have been supplemented by additional materials in certain genres (e.g. read speech), filling out the American component of ICE.</p> <h3><a name="Contents" id="Contents"></a>Contents & Summaries</h3> <table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="5"> <tbody> <tr> <td>Part 1</td> <td>Part 2</td> <td>Part 3</td> <td>Part 4</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="#SBC001">SBC001 Actual Blacksmithing</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC015">SBC015 Deadly<br /> Diseases</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC031">SBC031 Tastes Very<br /> Special</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC047">SBC047 On the Lot</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="#SBC002">SBC002 Lambada</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC016">SBC016 Tape Deck</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC032">SBC032 Handshakes<br /> All Around</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC048">SBC048 Mickey Mouse<br /> Watch</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="#SBC003">SBC003 Conceptual Pesticides</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC017">SBC017 Wonderful<br /> Abstract Notions</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC033">SBC033 Guilt</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC049">SBC049 Noise Pollution</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="#SBC004">SBC004 Raging<br /> Bureaucracy</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC018">SBC018 Vet Morning</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC034">SBC034 What Time<br /> is it Now?</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC050">SBC050 Just Wanna<br /> Hang</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="#SBC005">SBC005 A Book<br /> about Death</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC019">SBC019 Doesn't Work<br /> in this Household</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC035">SBC035 Hold My<br /> Breath</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC051">SBC051 New Yorkers Anonymous</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="#SBC006">SBC006 Cuz</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC020">SBC020 God's Love</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC036">SBC036 Judgmental<br /> on People</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC052">SBC052 Oh You Need<br /> a Breadbox</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="#SBC007">SBC007 A Tree鈥檚 Life</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC021">SBC021 Fear</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC037">SBC037 Very Good<br /> Tamales</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC053">SBC053 I Will Appeal</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="#SBC008">SBC008 Tell the<br /> Jury That</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC022">SBC022 Runway<br /> Heading</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC038">SBC038 Good<br /> Strong Dam</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC054">SBC054 'That's Good',<br /> Said Tiger</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="#SBC009">SBC009 Zero Equals<br /> Zero</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC023">SBC023 Howard's End</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC039">SBC039 Pretty Busy<br /> Bird</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC055">SBC055 The Mama<br /> of Dada</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="#SBC010">SBC010 Letter of<br /> Concern</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC024">SBC024 Risk</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC040">SBC040 Beaten on<br /> a Regular Basis</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC056">SBC056 What is a<br /> Brand Inspection?</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="#SBC011">SBC011 This<br /> Retirement Bit</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC025">SBC025 The Egg<br /> which Luther Hatched</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC041">SBC041 X Units<br /> of Insulin</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC057">SBC057 Throw Me</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="#SBC012">SBC012 American<br /> Democracy is Dying</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC026">SBC026 Hundred<br /> Million Dollars</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC042">SBC042 Stay Out of It</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC058">SBC058 Swingin' Kid</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="#SBC013">SBC013 Appease<br /> the Monster</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC027">SBC027 Atoms<br /> Hanging Out</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC043">SBC043 Try a<br /> Couple Spoonfuls</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC059">SBC059 You Baked</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="#SBC014">SBC014 Bank<br /> Products</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC028">SBC028 Hey<br /> Cutie Pie</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC044">SBC044 He Knows</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC060">SBC060 Shaggy Dog Story</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td>聽</td> <td><a href="#SBC029">SBC029 Ancient<br /> Furnace</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC045">SBC045 The Classic<br /> Hooker</a></td> <td>聽</td> </tr> <tr> <td>聽</td> <td><a href="#SBC030">SBC030 Vision</a></td> <td><a href="#SBC046">SBC046 Flumpity-Bump<br /> Down the Hill</a></td> <td>聽</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <h4>聽</h4> <h4><a name="SBC001" id="SBC001"></a>SBC001 <em>Actual Blacksmithing</em></h4> <p>This is a conversation recorded in rural Hardin, Montana.

(A few early recordings were made on high quality analog cassette recorders.)</p> <p>The audio data as published by the <a href="http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/">Linguistic Data Consortium</a> consist of 16-bit, stereo, 22.05 kHz audio files in WAV format (PCM).</p> <p>Personal names of speakers on the recordings, as well as other identifying information such as telephone numbers, have been replaced by pseudonyms in the transcripts, and have been altered to preserve the anonymity of the speakers by filtering the audio files to make these portions of the recordings unrecognizable. Pitch information is still recoverable from these filtered portions of the recordings, but the amplitude levels in these regions have been reduced relative to the original signal. A separate filter list file (e.g. SBC001.flt) associated with each transcription/waveform file pair (e.g. SBC001.trn, SBC001.wav) is provided to list the beginning and ending times of the filtered regions. (The file SBC040.flt is empty indicating there was no personal information to filter out.)</p> <p>The filtering was done using a digital FIR low-pass filter, with the cut-off frequency set at 400 Hz. The effect of the filter was gradually faded in and out at the beginning and end of the regions over a 1,000 sample region, roughly 45 milliseconds, to avoid abrupt transitions in the resulting waveform.</p> <p>The following additional files are included on the published CD鈥檚 and DVD鈥檚 from the Linguistic Data Consortium:</p> <table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="width: 500px;"> <tbody> <tr> <td>segment.txt</td> <td>explanation of the information contained in segment.tbl</td> </tr> <tr> <td>segment.tbl</td> <td>information about the speech event context</td> </tr> <tr> <td>segment_summaries.txt</td> <td>brief summary of the content of each discourse segment</td> </tr> <tr> <td>speaker.txt</td> <td>explanation of the information in speaker.tbl</td> </tr> <tr> <td>speaker.tbl</td> <td>speaker demographic information</td> </tr> <tr> <td>table.txt</td> <td>description of file names and informal titles</td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p>annotations.txt</p> </td> <td> <p>list of conventions and prosodic annotations</p> <div>聽</div> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <h3><a name="Acknowledgements" id="Acknowledgements"></a>Acknowledgements</h3> <p>Major funding for the creation of the Santa Barbara Corpus of Spoken American English was received from the <a href="http://www.neh.gov/">National Endowment for the Humanities</a> in the form of a grant [Grant #RT-21433-92] to <a href="/people/wallace-chafe">Wallace L.
