abstract = "This paper explores the potential of using Large Language Models in multilingualism research to accelerate the management and processing of spoken data. The speech-to-text processing of utterances by multilingual speakers are in the focus. Qualitative discussion of the main issues relating to the non-standard language use of bilingual individuals is provided, using Polish-German recordings from the LangGener corpus as an example.",
