Humans as Corpus - Language Learning Strategies in Virtually Mediated Authentic Environments
Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2002)
Abstract
This paper deals with the design and presuppositions of a research project yet to be conducted. The notion of "linguistically relevant data" is interpreted as the language resource which is represented by other humans. In a MOO environment (virtually mediated), students' language learning strategies are observed and described, especially the use they make of the communication with co-students and native speakers (authentic environment).
