Annotation

CASE is designed as a layer corpus with several levels of annotation which will be accessible separately to provide users with information relevant for their research.

CASE layers:

• Orthographic (+ sociolinguistic data)
• Part-of-speech tagged
• Annotated according to CASE transcription conventions

Further possible layers include:

• Additional pragmatic annotation (e.g. conversation organisation)
• Learner/English as a Foreign Language (EFL): Non-standard forms
• English as a Lingua Franca (ELF): Accommodation to international context
