Directory         1.     Ilona Vandergriff , Corpora of Computer-Mediated L2 Discourse Message 1: Corpora of Computer-Mediated L2 Discourse Date: 07-Feb-2011 From: Ilona Vandergriff <vdgriffsfsu.edu> Subject: Corpora of Computer-Mediated L2 Discourse E-mail this message to a friend I am researching synchronous and asynchronous computer-mediated interaction among second language (L2) learners. The data I have collected consists of task-based chat discussions among learners of German, and I am looking to expand my study to include other computer-mediated L2 data, i.e. second/foreign language chats, texts, and emails. Most L2 corpora contain written texts, such as essays/compositions (Chinese Learner English Corpus, Uppsala Student English Project, International Corpus of Learner English, Longman Learners' Corpus). A few contain speech (ISLE Speech Corpus). Thus far, I have only been able to locate one corpus of computer-mediated learner discourse, namely Julie Belz' Telekorp of German L1/L2. Does anyone know of any other L2 (including English as L2) corpora I might be able to access? I will post a summary of the replies. Thank you, Ilona Vandergriff Linguistic Field(s): Text/Corpus Linguistics Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue Page Updated: 08-Feb-2011       About LINGUIST    |   Contact Us       While the LINGUIST List makes every effort to ensure the linguistic relevance of sites listed on its pages, it cannot vouch for their contents.
