[Corpora-List] plain text extraction from ICE-GB...

[Ute Römer]

Dear all,

In a pragmatics class I would like to use some real samples of classroom
interaction (for my students to analyse the move structure in terms of IRF
etc.). I thought I could simply take one or two of the transcripts included
in ICE-GB but now I don't seem to find a way of copying (cutting/pasting)
texts from ICECUP (in the browse text mode) to a Word or text file. My
not-so-ideal solution was to enlarge font size and use screenshots, but I am
not quite happy with that (some lines are cut off). When I go to the corpus
files proper, I get all the markup material which I don't want either. Does
anyone know of a way of extracting plain text from this corpus?

Thanks and best wishes... Ute
