The Vienna-Oxford International Corpus of English (VOICE) is a corpus of transcripts of 151 audio-recordings of naturally-occurring, face-to-face interactions among 753 speakers of different first language backgrounds using English as a lingua franca. Impressive! And available free of charge for non-profit research purposes.
And a word about the people involved: the project director is Barbara Seidlhofer, and her team: Angelika Breiteneder, Theresa Klimpfinger, Stefan Majewski and Marie-Luise Pitzl.
