This volume offers a critical examination of the construction of
the Spoken British National Corpus 2014 (Spoken BNC2014) and points
the way forward toward a more informed understanding of corpus
linguistic methodology more broadly. The book begins by situating
the creation of this second corpus, a compilation of new,
publicly-accessible Spoken British English from the 2010s, within
the context of the first, created in 1994, talking through the need
to balance backward capability and optimal practice for today's
users. Chapters subsequently use the Spoken BNC2014 as a focal
point around which to discuss the various considerations taken into
account in corpus construction, including design, data collection,
transcription, and annotation. The volume concludes by reflecting
on the successes and limitations of the project, as well as the
broader utility of the corpus in linguistic research, both in
current examples and future possibilities. This exciting new
contribution to the literature on linguistic methodology is a
valuable resource for students and researchers in corpus
linguistics, applied linguistics, and English language teaching.
