Greetings to all list members!
Trying to get into cold water in planning a corpus of spoken
Israeli Hebrew, a large project planned by my colleague Benjamin Hary of
Emory University and myself with the cooperation of an Israeli and
international board, we are now looking for information on how people
who have already worked on corpus compilation solved the issue of
representativeness in register recording. We have Meyer's list for the
ICE.
Any suggestions where we can we go and look (electronic sites or
papers/books)?
We'd appreciate any suggestions, references and advice in this respect.
Kindly send all hints to us at <izreel@post.tau.ac.il>. We will be happy
to post a summary if we receive demands for that.
Best wishes,
Shlomo Izre'el
