[Corpora-List] Transciptions of live football commentaries?

[Ute Römer]

Dear Anja and others interested in football commentaries,

Have you seen Adrian Beard's 1998 book on The Language of Sport
(published in the Routledge Intertext series edited by R. Carter and A.
Goddard)? The book is aimed at undergraduate students but there might be
some points of interest for your research too (or maybe just for fun; I
liked the sections on Euro '96 TV and radio commentaries -- I won't
mention the match...).

Happy weekend!
Best wishes... Ute


>Dear list members,

Does anyone know of transcriptions of live football commentaries that
are
available free of charge for academic research? Any help would be much
appreciated.

(I already know about the MUMIS project.)

Thanks,
