<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Query: Has anyone used corpora to help dyslexic
students with their language? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I have had a request from a student who has adult
acquired dyslexia as a result of brain trauma. She is a native-speaker of
English and is taking a PhD. She has asked me to show her how to build
and/or use corpora because she thinks this tool might help her with writing her
thesis. Does anyone have any relevant experience they could share? Or does
anyone know of any relevant literature linking corpora and
dyslexia?</FONT></DIV>
