1 Objectives

1. Reformulate this list of objectives.
2. Analyze the requirements, for encoding purposes, of those interested in spoken texts, including but not limited to those working in:
   • corpus linguistics
   • natural-language recognition
   • socio-linguistics
   • language acquisition and development
   • phonology
   • anthropology and ethnology
   • rhetoric, speech, drama, journalism
3. Survey and report on existing practices and any existing standards for encoding which may exist in the above fields.
4. Propose work groups, specifying their work plans and approximate timetables, to address the task of drafting recommendations for the encoding and interchange of spoken textual materials among those working in the above fields. Such recommendations should be modelled on those of TEI P1, and will thus specify proposals for tag names, descriptions of textual features and DTD or DTD fragments.
5. Respond to comments on the relevant portions of TEI P1 routed to this work group by the editors.
