The Cambridge-Cornell Corpus of Spoken North American English

The Cambridge University Press/Cornell Corpus is a large collection of English being spoken by Americans.  It includes recordings of people going about their everyday life — at work, at home with their families, going shopping, having meals and so on.  These conversations have been typed into the computer for analysis by authors and editors.  This helps us to find out how American people speak and use American English today, how their language really works, how we can produce better teaching materials.
