    I will be doing a longitudinal study of formal spoken English in the
    House of Commons Committee sessions for my MA dissertation at the
    University of Reading (Centre for Applied Language Studies). I would be
    extremely grateful if anyone knows of a similar corpora from within the
    last ten years which I could use as a basis for comparison.

    I will be focussing on hedging devices.

    As I worked teaching MPs at the German Parliament for five years
    (1994-1999), I am particularly interested in applications of
    concordance-based instruction for diplomats, civil servants, and those
    training for work in the European Union.

    Thank you in advance for your help
