[Corpora-List] concordances and semantic contexts and prosody: looking for bibliographical references

[linda.bawcom at sbcglobal.net]

  Dear Francesca,

  Dear all,

    I'm looking for pubblications regarding the analysis of concordances in terms of semantic contexts and prosody, but I've not been able to find a useful bibliography for the moment.
    Does any of you know about papers on this particular topic?

    Thanks in advance,
    Francesca Bianchi

    YoThis page is maintained by Tony McEnry and Andrew Wilson and is an excellent
    start for an introduction to corpus linguistics
    http://www.ling.lancs.ac.uk/monkey/ihe/linguistics/contents.htm

    http://web.bham.ac.uk/johnstf/- This is Tim John's homepage and has more to
    do with using concordances in the classroom, but might be useful for you
    too.

    Nelson, M. (2000) A Corpus-Based Study of Business English and Business
    English Teaching Materials. Unpublished PhD Thesis. Manchester: -might be a
    bit helpful since it has to do with business English-although admittedly I
    haven't had time to read it all.

    This has some links-if you scroll down to some jounals that might be of
    interest

    ConcApp Concordancing Programs- http://vlc.polyu.edu.hk/pub/concapp/ this is
    a free concordancing program you can download (although I personally Mike
    Scott's Wordsmith-which really isn't that expensive if you plan on using it
    for a long time-think I paid 60 pounds for it through OUP-it'll send you the
    product by e-mail and you can download it-you can go to:
    http://www.liv.ac.uk/~ms2928/homepage.html) to find out more about it

    This the WordNet program which is also worth looking into for concordancing.

    This page is maintained by Micahel Barlow and gives lots of links to corpora
    and information about corpora
    http://www.ruf.rice.edu/~barlow/corpus.html

    You can search here for journal articles that you might be looking for or
    just type in a subject name and it will search for articles for you.

    This is David Lee's page and is an excellent start for finding information
    regarding corpus linguistics-lots of links, lots of good information
    http://devoted.to/corpora

    You can search here for concordance strings-although it's rather new-I
    didn't have much luck with it-but I'm sure that's because of what I was
    searching for and the way I searched, anyway  I know it is being improved-
