Modality identification
Is spoken part clearly identifiable? Yes - the README explicitly describes 8 subcorpora, identifiable via the letter prefix of document_id (<letters><digits>, e.g. c03, f08, fp09, n02, ns06): c (Conversation - interview transcripts), s (Sport - radio commentary), n (Oral narrative), ns (News scripts, radio), p (Public interview/discussion, radio) are spoken; f (Fiction), fp (Formal prose), pw (Popular writing/newspaper columns) are written.

speaker metadata
| Field | Advice |

modality metadata
add # modality = spoken to documents whose document_id prefix is c, s, n, ns, or p; # modality = written for f, fp, pw.
Per the README, each subcorpus also has a fairly clear genre and interaction profile:
