Phonological Annotation¶
The smallest unit of annotatable speech in FoLiA is the phoneme level. The phoneme element is a form of structure annotation used for phonemes. Alike to morphology, it is embedded within a layer phonology
which can be embedded within word/tokens.

Explanation & Example¶
The smallest unit of annotatable speech in FoLiA is the phoneme level. The
<phoneme>
element is a form of subtoken annotation used for phonemes.
Very much alike to morphology, it is embedded within a layer <phonology>
which can
be used within word/token elements (<w>
) or directly within higher structure such as utterances (<utt>
)
if no words are distinguished:
<utt>
<w xml:id="word" src="book.wav">
<t>book</t>
<ph>bʊk</ph>
<phonology>
<phoneme begintime="..." endtime="...">
<ph>b</ph>
</phoneme>
<phoneme begintime="..." endtime="...">
<ph>ʊ</ph>
</phoneme>
<phoneme begintime="..." endtime="...">
<ph>k</ph>
</phoneme>
</phonology>
</w>
</utt>
