Goethe for prosody [PDF]

open access: possible4th International Conference on Spoken Language Processing (ICSLP 1996), 1996
We describe the way in which a recording of Goethe's "Die Leiden des jungen Werther" published on a multimedia CD-ROM (J.W. Goethe, 1995) was made accessible for prosody research. The recording is interesting for prosody research because of its prosodic richness as it displays a large variety of registers and speaking styles.
