[Corpora-List] New book: Corpus Technology and Language Pedagogy

[Ute Römer]

Dear all, 

On behalf of Joybrato Mukherjee (University of Giessen), I would like to
announce the publication of a new book that might be of interest to some of
you (TOC attached below):

Sabine Braun, Kurt Kohn and Joybrato Mukherjee, eds. (2006):
Corpus Technology and Language pedagogy: New Resources, New Tools, New
Methods.
(English Corpus Linguistics, Volume 3)
Frankfurt/Main: Peter Lang.
ISBN: 3-631-54720-X
38 EUR
http://www.peterlang.com

About the volume:
The use of corpora and corpus technology for language learning and teaching 
purposes has been on the agenda of researchers, lexicographers and 
pedagogues for more than two decades now. The present volume is intended to 
take stock of some major developments in corpus-informed language pedagogy 
and brings together a number of contribut­ions, many of which were 
originally presented at the Language Technology section of the LearnTec 
Conference in Karlsruhe/Germany in 2005. The contributions present new 
resources, new tools and new methods for corpus-informed language pedagogy. 
In general, the papers demon­strate a noticeable shift from the more 
'traditional' uses of corpora and corpus technology in linguistic research 
towards uses with specific pedagogical goals in mind.
