Spoken Academic Discourse

English in comparison to German and Polish:
an international research project

A central list of project-related publications has been made available by our German partners in Leipzig and can be accessed here.

You can subscribe to the GeWiss mailing list using this link: http://lists.aston.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/gewiss-list. This allows you to follow the most recent developments of the Working with Spoken Language Reading Group. Publications that are discussed in the reading group will also be sent to members of the mailing list.

This is the link to a video recording of our research seminar that introduced the project and discussed both research approaches and technical matters in connection with the GeWiss corpus (see the video demonstration of the concordance function of our preliminary corpus of English specialist presentations).

The GeWiss research poster is available here. It was displayed at the event Celebrating Aston Research.
