Abstract
This paper describes an approach to what we are calling the ‘pragmatic’ annotation of the Engineering Lecture Corpus (ELC). The ELC contains 70 English-medium engineering lectures from across the world, currently including Malaysia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Italy (www.coventry.ac.uk/elc). The lectures are in the form of videos, raw text transcripts and XML files encoded using traditional TEI methods, but also marked for a limited number of features which shed light on the specific nature of lecture discourse. These functions will be discussed in terms of: how the current working list was reached, markup and annotation processes, and possible uses of the complete corpus
