Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that the release of the first part of our Corpus of Black and Coloured South African English in Contact is now available to bona fide researchers. The data consists of interactions between South African black and coloured individuals who do not share the same mother tongue, conducted in English as a lingua franca. The conversations were recorded and ethnographically transcribed between 2004 and 2007.
Further information about the project as well as on how to download the transcripts is available at www.lingua-franca-net.de/AfricanIdentities/SACorpus.html. The second half of the transcripts will be released towards the end of this year.
