The 11-million-word Spoken British National Corpus 2014 is now available in Sketch Engine. https://t.co/n31AxuyKpH Large spoken corpora are extremely demanding to build and we are excited at this new addition to our portfolio. #corpus #corpuslinguistics #bnc #bnc2014 @BNC_2014

Thanks to the Spoken @BNC_2014, I think I may have found a cunning way to include the phrase "that's a load of old twaddle" in my #PhD thesis. Couldn't think of a better place for it! 🙃 #PhDlife #PhDchat

@jennyjiangchina @arndthen The search you have done there is in the original BNC (1990s). To access the 2010s version (Spoken only at the moment) please visit https://t.co/gUXg3dX5tn

First day of my first #CLconf2019 - what better way to start things off than with some #LancsBox and BNC2014 Baby 🎉 @vaclavbrezina leads a discussion on challenges of corpus building before we start the practical workshop! 💻

[Tanjun Liu @tanjun_liu]

It’s time for written BNC2014 workshop led by @vaclavbrezina ! @TonyMcEnery kicks off the workshop with a precious conversation video with Geoffrey Leech and a brief introduction! #CL2019 @CorpusSocialSci

Submitting my book manuscript in less than a month. Feels like I'm preparing my PhD thesis for submission all over again! This book is the last stage of what has been six years of work on the Spoken @BNC_2014 project.

A peek into the most frequent words in the CFIE sub-corpus, a future component in the written @BNC_2014 corpus by @vaclavbrezina at the High Quality Financial Reporting Narratives workshop at the Work Foundation

[Chris Jones @ELTResearch]

More 13, 000 occurrences of 'like' per million words (11 million word spoken corpus) in @BNC_2014 . Of course, not all will be to mark a pause or gain time but I suspect a number are. Just shows the absurdity of trying to ban something rather than understand form and function.
