Project Description
The CABNC corpus is a open-licensed, detailed conversation analytic
re-transcription of naturalistic conversations from a subcorpus of the British National Corpus amounting to
around 4.2 million words in 1436 separate conversations.
The project aims to produce transcripts usable for both computational and
detailed qualitative analysis. If you are a CA transcriptionist and you use the
data, please make sure you re-submit your updated transcripts to help improve
the corpus over time.
