Abstract:

This book is a selection of studies presented at the 33rd International
Conference of the International Computer Archive of Modern and Medieval
English (ICAME), hosted by the University of Leuven (30 May - 3 June 2012).
The strictly refereed and extensively revised contributions collected here
represent recent advances in corpus linguistics, both in the development of
specialist corpora and in ways of exploiting them for specific purposes. The
first part focuses on “Corpus development and corpus interrogation” and
features papers on the compilation of new, highly specialized corpora which
aim to fill gaps in historical databases, and on new ways of extracting
relevant patterns automatically from computerized datasets. The second part,
devoted to “Specialist corpora”, presents detailed descriptive studies on
grammatical patterns in World Englishes, on neology, and – using a contrastive
approach – on prepositions and cohesive conjunctions. The third and final part
on “Second language acquisition” groups together studies situated at the
intersection of corpus linguistics and educational linguistics and dealing
with markers of relevance and lesser relevance in lectures, deceptive
cognates, the automatic annotation of native and non-native uses of
demonstrative this and that, and measuring learners’ progress in speech and in
writing. Each contribution in its own way reports on novel ways of getting
mileage out of specialist corpora, and collectively the contributions attest
to the rude health of computerized corpus linguistic studies.
