[Corpora-List] RDUES and WebCorp

[Antoinette Renouf]

Dear Colleagues

The Research and Development Unit for English Studies is now installed at its new home in the School of English at the University of Central England in Birmingham.  Our new website, with online software demos and neologism listings, is up and running at http://rdues.uce.ac.uk. Please update any links on your websites.

WebCorp has been restored, at http://www.webcorp.org.uk. WebCorp is a tool which extracts instances of language use from Web texts, providing a range of filtering and formatting options (including KWIC).  In the next period, we shall be formalising and expanding our user groups, to develop WebCorp further for research and teaching purposes.  If you are interested in some active involvement/research collaboration, please contact us with details of your research interests.
