Such people like you professor should be shown on TV!

Such a fascinating talk. Thank you very much! I found the specific examples particularly useful (eg. yes+ words, tense and modality in spoken grammar). I've time tagged the talk into sections below for when I come back to listen again! 0:36 Definition of corpora 2:35 Spoken vs written discourse 4:06 frequency lists and insights into vocabulary 9:44 yes+ words (example of difference between spoken and written vocab use) 12:30 proficient user perceptions vs evidence from corpora 13:45 corpora and their contexts and corpus tagging 19:35 insights into spoken grammar 22:00 strings of noun phrases (example of difference between spoken and written grammar use) 25:33 conclusion about insights from frequency 26:08 explanation of concordances 27:15 multi-modal corpora 28:38 smaller more contextualised spoken corpus studies

Thank you Professor. I was born in Poland and English is my third or fourth language. In my opinion the most English course do not recognize differences between written and spoken English. Even some do not care if it is American English, British English or other English.

Extremely interesting! Thanks for sharing!

Professor Carter taught me in 1986, 1987, and again in 1994. I was one of the hundreds and thousands of Chinese and international students Professor Carter has taught. I still vividly remember his "gentle, genteel and genial" manner and style, in which he conducted his lectures and seminars. He was greatly admired, respected and loved by his students. I can still visualise how he lectured on "Cat in the rain", "the Secret Agent", and I still remember what he said about specific words and specific paragraphs in the books.

Perhaps the greatest achievement you both offered us is on spoken corpus...
