ANGLISH

Abstract

Literature and studies on English second language acquisition have been recently developed either on a segmental level or a suprasegmental level. Despite this fact, when looking closer at the field of second language acquisition and in particular the acquisition of English as second language by French speakers, the constitution and work on large oral databases seem to be either non-existent or uneasy to access. From this noting was created a database called ANGLISH.ANGLISH, database of British English in L1 & L2, constitutes an important resource for a comparative analysis of English produced by French and English native speakers. ANGLISH is currently made up of more than 5h30 of oral English in L1 & L2. Registered on the CRDO website, ANGLISH will be shortly available online in order to be accessible to the scientific and teaching community for scientific and pedagogical purposes.
