Creating and Exploring Spoken Corpora of Health Communication for Second-Language Training Purposes
|
| Abstract |
The authors set out to create and explore comparable spoken corpora of health communication for second-language (L2) training purposes. They propose a corpus creation methodology that enables eliciting language from several nurses (i.e., 15 Anglophone; 15 Francophone) from particular speech tasks (i.e., accompany a patient who received bad news; reformulate feelings in reaction to a diagnosis; and ensure a patient’s understanding of a situation). Their findings are presented from a function-to-form corpus analysis, which compared the types of responses and linguistic forms used by Anglophone and Francophone nurses to convey empathy/sympathy. Their main findings illustrate that specialized, comparable spoken corpora are potentially useful for extracting recurring language use and making cross-linguistic comparisons. Overall, the authors suggest that bsuch corpora may ultimately be used to inform L2 pedagogy.
