摘要
语料库可提供大规模真实文本素材，并以其多方面的自动化功能受到语言学家的普遍欢迎。但口语语料库却因其成本昂贵，构建程序复杂，开发费时费力，加之法律和技术方面的限制，目前国际上成功的口语语料库寥寥可数。本文介绍了新加坡华族学前儿童口语语料库的建库情况。作者首先简要考察了新加坡华语教学历史沿革及学前儿童华语教育的现状，然后以此为背景，着重介绍了语料的收集过程和方法，并讨论了本语料库的特点及其对新加坡儿童华语研究和教育的意义。
Oral corpus has been notorious for its extremely high cost, technical complication and time-consuming process.Therefore,only a small number of well-established oral corpus have been constructed,even though the importance of corpus based or driven research is increasingly emphasized in modern linguistic studies. In this paper,we briefly introduce the compiling of the Spoken Corpus of Chinese Singaporean Preschoolers’ Oral Mandarin. We first have an overview of the development of Chinese teaching in Singaporean school education from historical perspective as well as the current situation of Mandarin mother tongue education in preschool sectors. After providing the background information, we focus on the research methodology of data collection, data processing and corpus building. Meanwhile we also discuss some problems encountered specifically in data processing. In conclusion, we describe the features of this corpus and its possible contribution to future exploration of linguistic competence of Singaporean preschoolers,and to better the understanding of child language development at large.
