Sound databases is a comfortable means for organization and
storage of the digitized sound material. Three types of sound
databases developed at the Department of Phonetics of Saint-
Petersburg State University make it possible to handle various
types of sound material used in phonetic research. Their
structural differences are defined by the differences of the units
chosen for storage and description.
Databases of the first type (Sound Archives) are designed
for big corpora. The description of such storage unit refers to the
whole text. The database of the second type (Speech Corpus) is
desighed for the storage of the phonetically balanced material
(text). The storage and description unit in this case is the
syllable. The database of the third type (Allophone Database) is
designed for the storage of all theoretically possible Russian
allophones with the allophone as the storage and description
unit.
