Building a corpus of ELF (English Lingua Franca) user negotiated interactions

这是第一次尝试在模拟联合国中收集口语数据，以便为语言研究准备语料库。在进行这项研究的过程中，从方法和技术的角度学到了很多东西。尽管有一些困难，（例如，在COVID期间转向在线事件，使得难以收集自发的多方语音数据），到目前为止的努力使得有可能进行几次定性分析，以确定该语料库中说话者产生的英语作为LIngua弗兰卡的可比性（MUNCE-模拟联合国英语语料库）与其他ELF语料库，如ACE（亚洲英语语料库）和VOICE（维也纳牛津英语语料库）。到目前为止，比较的领域包括，使用修复策略的住宿，并生产的非标准形式的ELF发言者，也看到在母语。分析仍在进行中，并等待出版，包括创造性的实例的隐喻和混合成语的比较发现在整个ELF语料库，和适应策略时使用的母语与ELF的发言者，以及使用冗余的相互理解的比较。几本书的章节，期刊文章和会议演示文稿已经产生的基础上，这些初步的定性分析与计划继续这项研究（包括进一步的数据收集，转录，编码和最终的定量分析），甚至之后和之后的赠款期结束。

This is the first attempt to collect spoken data in Model United Nations simulations in order to prepare a corpus for linguistic research. Much was learned in the process of doing this research from methodological and technical standpoints. Despite a number of difficulties (such as, the move to online events during COVID that rendered it difficult to collect spontaneous multiparty speech data) the efforts so far have made it possible to do several qualitative analyses in order to ascertain the comparability of the English as a LIngua Franca produced by the speakers in this corpus (MUNCE--Model United Nations Corpus of English) with other ELF corpora such as ACE (Asian Corpus of English) and VOICE (Vienna Oxford Corpus of English). The areas compared thus far include, the use of repair strategies for accommodation, and the production of non-standard forms by ELF speakers that are also seen in native speaker language. Analyses still underway and pending publication include a comparison of creative instances of metaphor and hybrid idioms found across ELF corpora, and accommodation strategies used by native speakers when interacting with ELF speakers, as well as a comparison of the use of redundancy for mutual intelligibility. Several book chapters, journal articles and conference presentations have been produced on the basis of these preliminary qualitative analyses with plans for a continuation of this research (including further data collection, transcription, coding and eventual quantitative analyses) even after and beyond the conclusion of the grant period.
