Event Description
The Lancaster-Northern Arizona Corpus of American Spoken English (LANA-CASE) is the American English counterpart to the widely used British National Corpus 2014 (BNC2014) in that it consists of large amounts of anonymized, transcribed, and freely available spoken language samples. Come learn about this new corpus and learn about opportunities to conduct meaningful research that can improve language teaching, policy, and understanding.
