New online search interface for MICASE

Dear All,

The Michigan Corpus of Academic Spoken English (MICASE) is a
1.8-million-word corpus of transcripts from a range of different speech
events recorded at the University of Michigan. Since May 2002, the
English Language Institute at the University of Michigan has made the
corpus available online through a search interface that some of you may
be familiar with already. We are now launching a new online search
interface due to issues of technical obsolescence.

New MICASE online has some improved functionality. For example, the new
search interface provides simple descriptive statistics for each search
term, and the search results can be downloaded to the user's own
computer. The downloadable information includes metadata (such as the
name of the transcript, the speaker's academic role and gender) in a
tab-delimited format that can be further examined using a program like
Microsoft Excel.

To explore MICASE online, simply go to http://micase.umdl.umich.edu
(this is the same URL as before).

We have also updated the MICASE Manual, which is available on our
website at http://www.lsa.umich.edu/eli/micase/index.htm (under "About
MICASE"). The chapter on MICASE online has been updated, with the
changes described in more detail.

I should also mention that, for users who wish to access the corpus data
through other means, the corpus transcripts are available in XML format
for a small fee. The sound files are also available for purchase
(although some of them are freely accessible online for listening at
http://www.lsa.umich.edu/eli/micase/Audio/index.htm).

Happy searching!

MICASE的152个语篇以前是可以打包下载的,现在要收钱了。不过,从搜寻结果中还是可以下载到搜寻结果相应的XML格式的。要批量下载全部语料,耍点小聪明即成。

好,既然饭局敲定了,关子也该打开了。 这里我的做法:

1、打开Browse页面,可以看到152Transcripts的列表:
http://quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/c/corpus/corpus?c=micase&cc=micase&type=browse

2、敲开第一个Transcript ADV700JU023,打开了一个新页面,在页面里可以看到“Download entire transcript in XML”,鼠标右键敲它,选择“Copy Shortcut”得到如下下载路径:
http://quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/c/cor...case;action=downloadtranscript;id=ADV700JU023

3、回到Transcripts列表页面,再任意敲一个Transcript,同样可以得到其下载地址。(如果你只看到这里就去下载,至少得搞152下,很累人是不是?)

4、从2、3的结果可以看到一个规律,那就是XML Transcripts的下载地址其实就是在下面的URL等号后加上tranascript的文件名即可:
http://quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/c/corpus/corpus?c=micase;cc=micase;action=downloadtranscript;id=

5、这样只要把Trascript列表页面存成html格式,用EditPlus打开,Search, Replace, 在Find What 里填入view=transcript,在Replace With里填入action=downloadtranscript。然后存下即可。

6、使用下载工具,如,迅雷、音影传送带等进行批量下载。这里以迅雷为例,打开那个修改好的html文件,鼠标右键敲html页面,选择“使用迅雷下载所有链接”,这样就可以在3分钟内得到所有152个XML transcripts了。

7、同理可以搞定声音文件。

声音文件也有吗?
 
回复: New online search interface for MICASE

好像用老洪同志给的方法直接来下载音频不成啊,是不是应该来改一下view=后面的内容呢?用editplus搜索不到transcript啊,请哪位给解答一下? 谢谢了。
