Since all transcribed units will be anchored to their temporal location and
thus have a unique reference, I feel that the above modules can be applied
separately and independently, which means that in the end we end up with
several versions of the same transcription. The synthesis module will decide
which version to use at which particular time. This should save us the
trouble to align or integrate annotations at the above levels.
I've put up my web pages about the formal grammar, which describes the
linguistic string at wordclass, phrase, and clause levels. Please have a
look and then comment and suggest. The address is:
