Dear Adam, You may want to speak to Svenja Adolphs at Nottingham who's been collecting multi-modal corpora for the last few years. She might know what the best way to go is.

Topics of the day: 1. Clueless sign language linguist collecting spoken language data (2) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 7 Nov 2011 12:57:33 +1100 From: Adam Schembri <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Clueless sign language linguist collecting spoken language data 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.

That will save a lot of hassle in aligning speech/visual streams and should be good enough for your purposes.
