Corpus Analysis of Spoken Discourse

---

Abstract

Although the majority of corpus-based linguistic studies have focused on written discourse, there has been a surprisingly long research tradition focused on the corpus-linguistic description of spoken discourse. Thus, while the earliest electronic corpora of written texts (the Brown Corpus and LOB Corpus) were constructed in the 1960s and early 1970s, work on a major corpus of natural spoken texts–the London-Lund Corpus –was already underway by the mid-1970s. Similarly, corpus-linguistic studies of lexico-grammatical features in speech can be traced back to this same time period (see, e.g., Aijmer,1984; Stenstrom,1986).
