| short description |
NESSI (New Englishes Student Interviews) is a multimodal corpus of informal interviews with university students who use English as an institutionalized second-language variety. |
| description |
The NESSI (New EnglisheS Student Interviews) corpus aims to collect spoken data produced by young speakers of New Englishes (institutionalized second-language varieties of English). It is made up of video-recorded informal interviews with university students, which consist of three tasks: set topic, free discussion and picture description. The design criteria and transcription conventions used to compile NESSI are similar to those used for the LINDSEI and LOCNEC corpora, which allows for comparisons with learner English and native English. |
