[Corpora-List] Data Driven Learning: summary of responses

[Gill Philip]

Dear all,
last week I asked the list to pool their knowledge about research carried
out on DDL with phrases rather than single words. I didn't expect to find
much, having already trawled through the literature, but the picture is
pretty bleak. To put it bluntly, with very few exceptions, DDL has not been
used to teach phrases.
However, from this depressing picture comes a ray of light:a gaping hole in
the literature that is begging to be filled. Short of research projects to
assign your students? Run a little dry of inspiration recently? Anything you
do in this field will be new! (and a welcome addition to knowledge of MWU
acquisition).

Below is a list of the references I was able to collect which had direct
relevance to applied linguistics (teaching or learner corpora); individual
respondents have been thanked individually, but thanks again (you know who
you are)

best,
Gill

-> there are also kibbitzers available, though phrases, when they occur, are
never the main focus (as far as I could see)

kibbitzers need updating, but I hear the Bham techies are working on it)
