Point and couterpoint

Orders of reality: CANCODE, communication, and culture

Ronald Carter

Professor of Modern English Language in the Department of English Studies, University of Nottingham, and is co-director with Michael McCarthy of the CANCODE project. Professor Carter has published widely in the fields of language teaching, applied linguistics, and literary studies. Recent publications include Exploring Spoken English (Cambridge University Press 1997), Investigating English Discourse: Language, Literacy and Literature (Routledge 1997), Keywords in Language and Literacy (Routledge 1995), and (with Michael McCarthy) Language as Discourse: Perspectives for Language Teaching(Longman 1994).

This article is concerned with the topic of language awareness in relation to spoken texts and their cultural contexts. The topic has become more relevant in recent years, as we have witnessed the development of more and more corpora of spoken English; more exciting developments in the work of COBUILD; the growth of the British National Corpus, with its spoken components; and the development of CANCODE by the author and Michael McCarthy at Nottingham University, with the support of Cambridge University Press. The data in this paper are drawn from everyday situations of language use collected for CANCODE and developed with an eye to their potential relevance for ELT.
