I'm putting together a grant application to continue work on corpora of
Australian Sign Language (Auslan) and British Sign Language (BSL), but I'm
also wanting to collect a small digital video corpus of spoken Australian
English and co-speech gesture as a point of comparison for my sign
language work. I will be filming all interactions using a high definition
digital video camcorder, but as I've never collected spoken language data
before and would like this data to be useful for possible spoken language
variation projects in the future, I wondered what colleagues would
recommend in terms of audio recording equipment to be used in addition to
the video? I'm hoping to film Australian English speakers in pairs or
groups of 3. I believe solid state recorders are the way to go, but would
appreciate any advice that anyone would care to offer, as I'm completely
newbie when it comes to spoken language data collection.
Cheers,
Adam
