Subject: Request: data (corpus) for Academic Research


Dear All,

My name is Tiotsop Kamou Olivier Mozard. I am a first-year PhD student
at HSE University in Moscow, and I am writing to humbly request
material (corpus) in the field of professional communication.

In fact, my research interests lie within corpus linguistics,
professional communication, and natural language processing (NLP), and
in my PhD research, I would like to focus on identifying and comparing
politeness strategies expressed through some specific lexical features
(formulaic sequences) in a variety of professional contexts such as
legal, healthcare, business communication, etc.

I am currently in the stage of trying to compile the corpus (both
written and spoken texts), and I really have a hard time accessing
freely available material that I could use for my research. It is
really difficult to have such data in Russia, especially in English,
so I have to rely on the sharing of material from other researchers to
be able to advance in my research.

I understand that there are some issues with privacy, but I am ready
to sign any document that will guarantee that the material will be
only for academic (linguistic) research and in accordance with the
privacy rules.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing
from you.  Please reply to otiotsopkamu at hse.ru.

Sincerely,

Olivier

PS: I would also be grateful if you could suggest me other sources
where I could have access to the material and I in the future I would
be available for assistance in your research should you require any.

Linguistic Field(s): Text/Corpus Linguistics
