Dear All

I made two  mistakes in my last email;

One Béatrice not Brigitte. This come from writing two emails at a time.

Two the URL for WConcord. This neat piece of freeware for Windows
concordancing has been provided by martinek at top.cz
(Zdenek Martinek, Masarykova 4, 312 19 Plzen, Czech Republic).
siegrist at hrz1.hrz.th-darmstadt.de
(Prof. Dr. Leslie Siegrist, TH Darmstadt, FB2, Institut für Sprach- und
Literaturwissenschaft, Hochschulstr. 1, 64289 Darmstadt, Germany)
and really can be found at:
http://www.linglit.tu-darmstadt.de/wconcord.htm

My apologies to those who sought and did not find, my heartfelt thanks to
the providers of this tool.

Subject: Corpora: corpus linguistics course


Dear list members,
I am seeking advice on the best way to organize a corpus linguistics course
in my English department. Starting in february 2003, 2 hours every other
week for 12 to 13 weeks (that is our second semester) so about twelve hours
altogether. I can have a computer room with 10-12 PCs.
I would like to know what corpora and what tools to buy (my BNC-World
failed to install and I sent the CDs back). Of course the less money I ask
for, the happier my head of department will be. Still I want the students
to have hands-on sessions with software that runs smoothly so as not to put
them off corpus linguistics for ever. They are second-year students in
France (Paris-Sorbonne Nouvelle) studying for a degree in English.
Thanks for your help. I will post a summary of the numerous replies I
receive.
Beatrice Vautherin
