recorded between March 1997 and August 1998. It contains recordings of
spontaneous speech (51 texts) and radio programmes (42 texts),
which involve 2 to 4 speakers, with 1 text of monologue.
In total, the corpus contains around 230,000 Chinese words.
The text is word-segmented, annotated with part-of-speech (POS) tags and
romanised Cantonese pronunciation.
