  1. The Corpus of Australian and New Zealand Spoken English: A new resource of naturalistic speech transcripts (2022 · 2 citations)
    Studies of regional grammar in contemporary spoken English have had little suitable data. Existing Australian and New Zealand speech corpora tend to be small, concentrated in a few cities, or made up largely of older recordings, so rare syntactic features and regional patterns are hard to study. Coats addresses this…
  2. Regional Distribution of the /el/-/æl/ Merger in Australian English (2025 · 1 citation)
    Victoria and Melbourne are known for merging /e/ and /æ/ before /l/, so that pairs like celery/salary sound the same.
  3. CoANZSE Audio: Creation of an Online Corpus for Linguistic and Phonetic Analysis of Australian and New Zealand Englishes (2024 · 1 citation)
    Freely available, searchable English corpora that pair transcripts with recordings are scarce. Most audio collections for Australian and New Zealand English are small, offline, or sold under expensive licences. Coats addresses this gap by extending CoANZSE, a 195-million-word set of geolocated YouTube transcripts…
  4. A Fine-tuned ASR Model for Historical American Dialect Recordings (2026)
    Off-the-shelf ASR systems such as Whisper perform poorly on conversational, dialectal and historical speech, so thousands of hours of carefully sampled American dialect fieldwork remain untranscribed.
  5. MD_NLP: Reconstructing an Australian English Heritage Dialect Corpus from the Mitchell-Delbridge Recordings through LLM-Assisted Speaker Attribution (2026)
    The Mitchell–Delbridge (MD) archive holds recordings of Australian secondary school pupils made in 1959/60. Its spontaneous narrative part had gone almost unused because there were no transcripts and the audio quality varies widely. Earlier studies drew only on the read sentences and word lists.
