30.04.1998, 2: Dialogue: scenario design -- Lecture (DG)

There are three stages in empirical dialogue analysis:

• the pre-recording stage,
• the recording stage,
• the post-recording stage.

Before characterising these stages, the background to speech and text corpora will be discussed.

Much of the information is taken from [4], Chapter 3 (cf. also student edition volumes: [5], [6]).
