CORPORA AND CONVERSATION:
ASPECTS OF PRAGMATIC ANNOTATION IN SPOKEN CORPORA

A Seminar Series, Spring 2000

While recent years have seen a rise in the use of corpus evidence in spoken
language studies, the use of such evidence remains controversial,
particularly with reference to pragmatic and discoursal categories. In this
series, we address a range of issues concerning corpus data and the
analysis of the spoken language, focussing on such topics as theoretical
implications of discoursal and pragmatic annotation; discoursal and
pragmatic annotation in relation to the transcription and mark-up of spoken
data, and the feasibility of corpus data in pragmatic and discoursal analyses
of conversation and other forms of spoken language.
