  • The Spoken BNC2014: Designing and Building a Spoken Corpus Of
    The Spoken BNC2014 Designing and building a spoken corpus of everyday conversations Robbie Love i, Claire Dembry ii, Andrew Hardie i, Vaclav Brezina i and Tony McEnery i i Lancaster University / ii Cambridge University Press This paper introduces the Spoken British National Corpus 2014, an 11.5-million-word corpus of orthographically transcribed conversations among L1 speakers of British English from across the UK, recorded in the years 2012–2016. After showing that a survey of the recent history of corpora of spo- ken British English justifies the compilation of this new corpus, we describe the main stages of the Spoken BNC2014’s creation: design, data and metadata collection, transcription, XML encoding, and annotation. In doing so we aim to (i) encourage users of the corpus to approach the data with sensitivity to the many methodological issues we identified and attempted to overcome while com- piling the Spoken BNC2014, and (ii) inform (future) compilers of spoken corpora of the innovations we implemented to attempt to make the construction of cor- pora representing spontaneous speech in informal contexts more tractable, both logistically and practically, than in the past. Keywords: Spoken BNC2014, transcription, corpus construction, spoken corpora 1. Introduction The ESRC Centre for Corpus Approaches to Social Science (CASS) 1 at Lancaster University and Cambridge University Press have compiled a new, publicly- accessible corpus of present-day spoken British English, gathered in informal con- texts, known as the Spoken British National Corpus 2014 (Spoken BNC2014).

  • E-Language: Communication in the Digital Age Dawn Knight1, Newcastle University
    e-Language: Communication in the Digital Age Dawn Knight1, Newcastle University 1. Introduction Digital communication in the age of ‘web 2.0’ (that is the second generation of in the internet: an internet focused driven by user-generated content and the growth of social media) is becoming ever-increasingly embedded into our daily lives. It is impacting on the ways in which we work, socialise, communicate and live. Defining, characterising and understanding the ways in which discourse is used to scaffold our existence in this digital world is, therefore, emerged as an area of research that is a priority for applied linguists (amongst others). Corpus linguists are ideally situated to contribute to this work as they have the appropriate expertise to construct, analyse and characterise patterns of language use in large- scale bodies of such digital discourse (labelled ‘e-language’ here - also known as Computer Mediated Communication, CMC: see Walther, 1996; Herring, 1999 and Thurlow et al., 2004, and ‘netspeak’, Crystal, 2003: 17). Typically, forms of e-language are technically asynchronous insofar as each of them is ‘stored at the addressee’s site until they can be ‘read’ by the recipient (Herring 2007: 13). They do not require recipients to be present/ready to ‘receive’ the message at the same time that it is sent, as spoken discourse typically does (see Condon and Cech, 1996; Ko, 1996 and Herring, 2007). However, with the increasing ubiquity of digital communication in daily life, the delivery and reception of digital messages is arguably becoming increasingly synchronous. Mobile apps, such as Facebook, WhatsApp and I-Message (the Apple messaging system), for example, have provisions for allowing users to see when messages are being written, as well as when they are received and read by the.

  • Investigating Vocabulary in Academic Spoken English
    INVESTIGATING VOCABULARY IN ACADEMIC SPOKEN ENGLISH: CORPORA, TEACHERS, AND LEARNERS BY THI NGOC YEN DANG A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Applied Linguistics Victoria University of Wellington 2017 Abstract Understanding academic spoken English is challenging for second language (L2) learners at English-medium universities. A lack of vocabulary is a major reason for this difficulty. To help these learners overcome this challenge, it is important to examine the nature of vocabulary in academic spoken English. This thesis presents three linked studies which were conducted to address this need. Study 1 examined the lexical coverage in nine spoken and nine written corpora of four well-known general high-frequency word lists: West’s (1953) General Service List (GSL), Nation’s (2006) BNC2000, Nation’s (2012) BNC/COCA2000, and Brezina and Gablasova’s (2015) New-GSL. Study 2 further compared the BNC/COCA2000 and the New-GSL, which had the highest coverage in Study 1. It involved 25 English first language (L1) teachers, 26 Vietnamese L1 teachers, 27 various L1 teachers, and 275 Vietnamese English as a Foreign Language learners. The teachers completed 10 surveys in which they rated the usefulness of 973 non-overlapping items between the BNC/COCA2000 and the New- GSL for their learners in a five-point Likert scale. The learners took the Vocabulary Levels Test (Nation, 1983, 1990; Schmitt, Schmitt, & Clapham, 2001), and 15 Yes/No tests which measured their knowledge of the 973 words. Study 3 involved compiling two academic spoken corpora, one academic written corpus, and one non-academic spoken corpus.

  • SELECTING and CREATING a WORD LIST for ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING by Deny A
    Teaching English with Technology, 17(1), 60-72, http://www.tewtjournal.org 60 SELECTING AND CREATING A WORD LIST FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING by Deny A. Kwary and Jurianto Universitas Airlangga Dharmawangsa Dalam Selatan, Surabaya 60286, Indonesia d.a.kwary @ unair.ac.id / [email protected] Abstract Since the introduction of the General Service List (GSL) in 1953, a number of studies have confirmed the significant role of a word list, particularly GSL, in helping ESL students learn English. Given the recent development in technology, several researchers have created word lists, each of them claims to provide a better coverage of a text and a significant role in helping students learn English. This article aims at analyzing the claims made by the existing word lists and proposing a method for selecting words and a creating a word list. The result of this study shows that there are differences in the coverage of the word lists due to the difference in the corpora and the source text analysed. This article also suggests that we should create our own word list, which is both personalized and comprehensive. This means that the word list is not just a list of words. The word list needs to be accompanied with the senses and the patterns of the words, in order to really help ESL students learn English. Keywords: English; GSL; NGSL; vocabulary; word list 1. Introduction A word list has been noted as an essential resource for language teaching, especially for second language teaching. The main purpose for the creation of a word list is to determine the words that the learners need to know, in order to provide more focused learning materials.

  • The Spoken BNC2014 Designing and Building a Spoken Corpus of Everyday Conversations
    The Spoken BNC2014 Designing and building a spoken corpus of everyday conversations Robbie Love i, Claire Dembry ii, Andrew Hardie i, Vaclav Brezina i and Tony McEnery i i Lancaster University / ii Cambridge University Press This paper introduces the Spoken British National Corpus 2014, an 11.5-million-word corpus of orthographically transcribed conversations among L1 speakers of British English from across the UK, recorded in the years 2012–2016. After showing that a survey of the recent history of corpora of spo- ken British English justifies the compilation of this new corpus, we describe the main stages of the Spoken BNC2014’s creation: design, data and metadata collection, transcription, XML encoding, and annotation. In doing so we aim to (i) encourage users of the corpus to approach the data with sensitivity to the many methodological issues we identified and attempted to overcome while com- piling the Spoken BNC2014, and (ii) inform (future) compilers of spoken corpora of the innovations we implemented to attempt to make the construction of cor- pora representing spontaneous speech in informal contexts more tractable, both logistically and practically, than in the past. Keywords: Spoken BNC2014, transcription, corpus construction, spoken corpora 1. Introduction The ESRC Centre for Corpus Approaches to Social Science (CASS) 1 at Lancaster University and Cambridge University Press have compiled a new, publicly- accessible corpus of present-day spoken British English, gathered in informal con- texts, known as the Spoken British National Corpus 2014 (Spoken BNC2014). This 1. The research presented in this paper was supported by the ESRC Centre for Corpus Approaches to Social Science, ESRC grant reference ES/K002155/1.

  • EUROCALL Conference 2019 “CALL and Complexity”
    EUROCALL Conference 2019 “CALL and Complexity” Book of abstracts Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium 28-31 August 2019 © European Association of Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2019. Conference Chair: Fanny Meunier. Conference Co-chair: Julie Van de Vyver. Programme Committee Chair: Sake Jager. Book of abstracts: Serge Bibauw. Typeset with LATEX and KOMA-Script, in Libertinus 11pt, Raleway, and Iosevka. Cover design by Frédéric Verolleman. Bienvenue à EUROCALL 2019 à Louvain-la-Neuve ! This year we have set ourselves an agenda that focuses on CALL and Complexity. We will explore the intricacies and challenges associated with learning and teaching languages and cultures in increasingly complex contexts—not only in terms of the technologies involved! We hope that this conference will provide yet another opportunity for mind expanding ex- changes inspired by innovative research. Over 350 participants from 39 different countries will be contributing to presentations, workshops, symposia, and meetings and will be networking and socialising with colleagues and friends from different corners of the world. We extend a particular warm welcome to the secondary school teachers who will join us on the first conference day. Their response to our attempt at reaching out to colleagues beyondour immediate constituency has been overwhelming and allows us to revive an initiative launched 10 years ago at the EUROCALL conference in Gandía. We would also like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to our keynote speakers and to our colleagues who contribute to our organisation throughout the year, during the run- up to our annual conference in particular. Your work on the local organising committee, the executive committee, as chairs and secretaries of the special interest groups, and as national reps is at the heart of EUROCALL.

  • Corpus Linguistics and Pragmatics Christoph Rühlemann, University of Paderborn Brian Clancy, University of Limerick
    Corpus linguistics and pragmatics Christoph Rühlemann, University of Paderborn Brian Clancy, University of Limerick Abstract Pragmatics and corpus linguistics were long considered mutually exclusive because of their stark methodological differences, with pragmatics relying on close horizontal reading and qualitative interpretation and corpus linguistics typically scanning texts vertically and processing data quantitatively. In recent years, however, corpus linguists and pragmaticists have discovered common ground thus paving the way for the advent of the new field of corpus pragmatics. This chapter takes a meta-methodological approach aiming to show that corpus pragmatics integrates the horizontal (qualitative) methodology typical of pragmatics with the vertical (quantitative) methodology predominant in corpus linguistics. To illustrate, we examine the choice between past indicative was and past subjunctive were in as-if clauses in the Corpus of Comtemporary American English (COCA). The methodology integrates quantitative collocational analyses as well as qualitative examination of the two forms in concordance lines and larger contexts. The findings suggest that the choice is co-determined by the speaker’s attitude to the factuality attributable to the comparison expressed in the as-if clause as well as the speaker’s choice of one of two syntactic functions oft he as-if clause in the matrix clause. We argue that the choice of the subjunctive over the indicative in these contexts can best be understood as a form of negative empathetic deixis (Lyons 1977). 1. Introduction Corpus linguistics, a relatively young linguistic discipline though its roots can be traced back as far as the thirteenth century (see McCarthy and O’Keeffe 2010), came to the fore in the latter half of the twentieth century.
