This text covers the issues and practices, applications and specialized uses of English on computer and provides samples and systems of transcription.

This book has evolved from a Workshop on Computerized Speech Corpora, held at Lancaster University in 1993. It brings together the findings presented in a clear and coherent manner, focussing on the advantages and disadvantages of particular transcription or mark-up practice.
