Abstract This paper presents an overview of the Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) and Non-AAC Workplace Corpus (ANAWC) (Pickering & Bruce, 2009). The corpus is the first resource of its kind that makes it possible to systematically study the typical language patterns of both AAC users and comparable non-AAC users in the workplace. We discuss the origin of the corpus and give an account of the methodology used for its collection and transcription. We also introduce several publications that demonstrate the novel qualitative and quantitative findings that can be generated on the basis of the corpora. This kind of research will be crucial to guide future developments in AAC development for workplace applications.

ANAWC 简介

摘要 本文概述了增强和替代通信 (AAC) 和非 AAC 工作场所语料库 (ANAWC) (Pickering & Bruce, 2009)。该语料库是同类资源中的第一个资源，可以系统地研究工作场所中 AAC 用户和类似的非 AAC 用户的典型语言模式。我们讨论了语料库的起源，并说明了用于收集和转录的方法。我们还介绍了一些出版物，这些出版物展示了可以基于语料库生成的新颖的定性和定量发现。这种研究对于指导工作场所应用的 AAC 开发的未来发展至关重要。
