Beskrivning
This handbook presents the first systematic account of corpus phonology - the employment of corpora, especially purpose-built phonological corpora of spoken language, for studying speakers' and listeners' acquisition and knowledge of the sound system of their native languages and the principles underlying those systems. The field combines methods and theoretical approaches from phonology, both diachronic and synchronic, phonetics, corpus linguistics, speech technology, information technology and computer science, mathematics and statistics.The book is divided into four parts: the first looks at the design, compilation, and use of phonological corpora, while the second looks at specific applications, including examples from French and Norwegian phonology, child phonological development, and second language acquisition. Part 3 looks at the tools and methods used, such as Praat and EXMARaLDA, and the final part examines a number of currently available phonological corpora in various languages, including LANCHART, LeaP, and IViE. It will appeal not only to those working with phonological corpora, but also to researchers and students of phonology and phonetics more generally, as well as to all those interested in language variation, dialectology, first and second language acquisition, and sociolinguistics.

She has collected the LeaP corpus and is currently involved in the compilation of the ICE-Nigeria.Gjert Kristoffersen is Professor of Scandinavian languages at the University of Bergen.

Recensioner i media

this Handbook fulfils its aims as a high-level reference work in corpus phonology and as a comprehensive practical guide for a better handling of linguistic corpora in their international and scientific diversity. It will be of interest to any well-informed researcher or advanced student already committed to working with corpora or interested in phonology and phonetics, in language variation and change, dialectology, sociolinguistics and language acquisition across languages. Anne Przewozny-Desriaux, Cercles
