SP2: Speech Varieties And Multilingual ASR

We extracted the differences between spoken language and written language from a spoken-language corpus and a written-language corpus by using the UNIX command ``diff'' and examined the differences to determine the construction of the grammars of the two corpora. We also transformed written-language sentences into spoken-language sentences by using rules based on the extracted differences.
