[Corpora-List] Reference corpus of Academic English

[Florian Petran]

Dear Lia,

MICASE has a parallel project going on for written register, MICUSP (
http://www.micusp.org/ ) but it is not yet released.
Louvain Corpus of Native English Essays LOCNESS (
http://www.fltr.ucl.ac.be/fltr/germ/etan/cecl/Cecl-Projects/Icle/locness1.htm
) has two subcorpora with American and British student papers
respectively.

Best,
Florian

> Dear All,
> I made up a specialised corpus of scientific research article abstracts
> (time span 2000-2005), now I am looking for a reference corpus of academic
> English (preferably written register). I was thinking about the MICASE or?
> Furthermore, I intend to tag it semantically for specific investigations
> like textual colligation, evaluation and cohesion. The authors I am
> referring to are Hoey, Hunston & Thompson, Martin. Does anybody have any
> hints,clues or pieces of advice to suggest?
> Thanking you for your colloboration.
