Dear CABank,
As you may have noticed, updates to this list have been very infrequent, despite the fact that we continue adding new corpora to CABank at
https://ca.talkbank.org . The most important recent additions are for the CABNC (the spoken version of the British National Corpus), MICASE (Michigan Corpus of Academic Spoken English), and the Garfinkel-Seminars. We have also been working to improve the transcription of several Mandarin corpora.
I would like to encourage people to use this list for postings of any type related to CA and CA-type corpora, including questions about corpora, theoretical issues, methodological issues, book announcements, ideas for projects, requests for information, postings about open positions, and other matters.
Best,
-- Brian MacWhinney
