## Glasgow Brains in Dialogue Corpus ##
The Glasgow Brains in Dialogue corpus consists of recordings of 24 female Glaswegian speakers who were recorded in pairs carrying out a collaborative DiapixUK task. The task is a collaborative ‘spot-the-difference’ task where speakers must communicate with one another in order to find all of the differences between two pictorial images of the same scene but with minor differences between them. DiapixUK is a modified version of the original Diapix designed specifically with a British audience in mind. The recordings were made in order to investigate speech accommodation. There are 12 recordings for each speaker (one for each of the 12 DiapixUK pictures). The Data Guardian used LaBB-CAT for alignment.
