The four major objectives of the project were: i) to establish an electronic corpus of (a) conversations, from the British National Corpus (BNC) and (b) oral narratives, from Lancaster's Centre for North Western Regional Studies (CNWRS) oral history archive; ii) to annotate the corpus manually for categories of Speech, Thought and Writing Presentation (ST and WP); iii) to conduct systematic quantitative and qualitative analyses of the annotated corpus and iv) to compare the findings with those of Short and Semino's 1994-7 study of ST and WP in a corpus of written fictional and non-fictional British English narratives (BA LRG M-AN2314/APN/3489). A full description of the corpus can be found on the project website at: http://www.ling.lancs.ac.uk/stwp/default.htm McIntyre, D., C. Bellard-Thomson, J. Heywood, A. McEnery, E. Semino and M.
