The Spoken Dutch Corpus project was aimed at the construction of a database of contemporary standard Dutch as spoken by adults in The Netherlands and Flanders. The intended size of the corpus was ten million words (about 1,000 hours of speech), two thirds of which would originate from the Netherlands and one third from Flanders. The total number of words available is nearly 9 million (800 hours of speech). Some 3.3 million words were collected in Flanders, well over 5.6 million in The Netherlands. The corpus comprises a large number of samples of (recorded) spoken text. The entire corpus has been transcribed orthographically, while the transcripts have been linked to the speech files. The orthographic transcription was used as the starting-point for the lemmatization and part-of-speech tagging of the corpus. For a selection of one million words, a (verified) broad phonetic transcription has been produced, while for this part of the corpus also the alignment of the transcripts and the speech files has been verified at the word level. In addition, a selection of one million words has been annotated syntactically. Finally, for a more modest part of the corpus, approximately 250,000 words, a prosodic annotation is available. The corpus comes with metadata pertaining to speakers and recording conditions. Furthermore with the Corpus a lexicon and frequency lists (word tokens, lemmas, POS tags, pronunciation variants) are available.
