Corpora: POS tagging of spoken corpora (summary)

[Jean Veronis]

A few people responded to my query (thanks to Lars Borin, Mats Eeg-Olofsson 
, Andrew Harley , Joakim Nivre, Paul Rayson, Geoffrey Sampson, Maria 
Wolters and Jakub Zavrel), but as I suspected, there seems to exist only a 
handful of publications on this topic:
