Featuring contributions from an international team of leading and
up-and-coming scholars, this innovative volume provides a
comprehensive sociolinguistic picture of current spoken British
English based on the Spoken BNC2014, a brand new corpus of British
speech. The book begins with short introductions highlighting the
state-of-the-art in three major areas of corpus-based
sociolinguistics, while the remaining chapters feature rigorous
analysis of the research outcomes of the project grounded in Spoken
BNC2014 data samples, highlighting English used in everyday
situations in the UK, with brief summaries reflecting on the
sociolinguistic implications of this research included at the end
of each chapter. This unique and robust dataset allows this team of
researchers the unique opportunity to focus on speaker
characteristics such as gender, age, dialect and socio-economic
status, to examine a range of sociolinguistic dimensions, including
grammar, pragmatics, and discourse, and to reflect on the major
changes that have occurred in British society since the last corpus
was compiled in the 1990s. This dynamic new contribution to the
burgeoning field of corpus-based sociolinguistics is key reading
for students and scholars in sociolinguistics, corpus linguistics,
pragmatics, grammar, and British English.
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.
