[Corpora-List] consistency of spoken transcription

[Karin Axelsson]

Dear Chris,

When the BNC was converted into XML, many pauses were lost, which means that the latest version of the BNC is less reliable than earlier versions.
You can read about this in the following report compiled by Sebastian Hoffmann and Stefan Evert:

Best wishes,
Karin
