Corpora: concordances

[Diana.Hudson-Ettle]

Those following the discussion on English language learning and (pre-sorted
versus unorganised) concordances may be interested in logging into the Chemnitz
Internet Grammar:
www.tu-chemnitz.de/phil/InternetGrammar
In the "Discovery Section" of the Grammar we provide learners with a number of
authentic sentences from the BNC and guide them via tasks towards suitable
explanations of specific uses of continuous/simple forms, conditional sentences,
relative clauses. This inductive approach provides more advanced learners with a
variety of examples of usage without overwhelming them with data.
