Annotation

Drawing on Web-dispensed audience response software, evidence is offered that listener reaction to language data can be seized in real-time and novel statistical analysis can sequester apposite points at which participants utter positive or negative evaluations.Thus, real-time evaluative reaction changes can be matched with linguistic variation and so can be employed to reveal the salient features in a specific language variety.
