Speech Corpora and Discourse Completion Tasks (DCT) are both ways of analyzing

speech. However, speech Corpora is more accurate when analyzing text for foreign language

learners. DCTs is a tool used by linguists as a means of analyzing speech. It also gets utilized in

assessing the acts that are closely related to speech. A DCT is usually made up of a one-sided
