Reading Concordances. John Sinclair; London: Longman,
No full textProf. John Sinclair’s pioneering role in the field of ELT as editor-in-chief of the
Collins-Cobuild dictionaries and grammar is well known. Just as remarkable has
been his contribution to the development of modern language theory, particularly as
regards the relationship between grammar and lexis. He has successfully illustrated
how technological developments, principally the advent of electronic corpora and
the software to interrogate them, influence and refine perceptions of language and
how these clearer perceptions affect both linguistic theory and pedagogical practice.
The present volume also has a dual impetus: one pedagogical, the other theoretical.
On one level, it is a textbook which aims to introduce corpus work to ‘students,
researchers and workers in the language’, more specifically, to show them how
to ‘interrogate a corpus in order to retrieve evidence that is relevant to a linguistic
enquiry‘ and then to refine those queries further until a ‘neatly organised body of
evidence’ (p. ix) is available as a report on the findings. On the second, a large
number of theoretical points are made, and despite the disclaimer that ‘they are not
gathered and organised into a specific stance’ (p. ix), the reader is guided in Socratic
question-answer fashion to an appreciation of what, elsewhere, Sinclair has called 'lexical grammar'

Aims, Tools and Practices of Corpus Linguistics
No full textThe discipline of Corpus Linguistics, in essence, entails the compilation of very large archives of
running texts for subsequent linguistic analysis. The final ends of Corpus Linguistics lie in the
scope of Artificial Intelligence, that is, teaching machines to comprehend and produce natural
language. A vital correlated aim is to improve translation techniques, both human and machine.
Intermediate ends include furthering our knowledge of how language is structured and how humans
use it to communicate meaning, to express evaluations and to influence the behaviour of their
interlocutors (i.e. persuasion)
Journal of Corpora & Discourse Studies
No full textThe Journal of Corpora and Discourse Studies showcases research into language as a vehicle of communication which incorporates the use of corpus techniques. The Journal is highly interdisciplinary in nature, first, in combining discourse analysis with corpus linguistics and, second, in accommodating an ever-increasing number of other disciplines which employ the analysis of spoken or written texts beyond linguistics proper which use corpus techniques to help analyse the texts they employ, including political science, sociology, history, literary criticism, business studies, healthcare, and many more. We particularly welcome papers which address methodological issues concerning the use of corpora in these and other fields.
The journal is on-line open-access with the opportunity to store research data on the publisher’s server. The language of publication is English, but we welcome submissions on all other languages.
