About This Book

The book introduces the current version of the American Movie Corpus (also known as the AMC),
a structured dataset of authentic movie dialogs produced in the United States of America from 1959 to 2019.
Starting from the assumption that spoken language has a primary role in communication,
the main idea behind the work is to offer a tool for language learners/teachers to investigate and develop spoken lexico-grammatical competence,
also in areas of specialized communication. Although movies are artifacts by nature, recent investigations have revealed that their dialogs
share the same textuality and linguistic features which characterize face-to-face conversation and that language learners
can improve their spoken competence by actively watching movies.
