Biography

Svenja Adolphs is Professor of English Language and Linguistics at the University of Nottingham.

Ronald Carter is Professor of Modern English Language at the University of Nottingham.

'The main achievement of the book is to put the development and exploitation of multimodal spoken corpora that integrate and align various data streams more explicitly on the agenda of corpus linguistics, at the same time discussing some of the complex technological challenges that corpus linguists will face in the future.' - Marcus Callies, Universität Bremen, Journal of Pragmatics

"Overall, the book offers a significant representation of corpus work carried out on spoken discourse with a focus on discourse organization and MWUs, while at the same time tracing the development of spoken corpora towards multimodality and inclusion of rich contextual data. The volume will be essential reading for scholars undertaking research in multimodal corpora, but it will be relevant to anyone with an interest in variational pragmatics for the picuture it offers of existing resources and present challenges." - Marina Bondi, Universita di Modena e Reggio Emilia, Language and Dialogue 5:3
