We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Dear all,

I'm interested in finding and reading/discussing ways of using corpus
material in English Language Teaching.

If you are developing a corpus of English, I'm curious to know if and how
you think this material can be applied in the classroom.

If you have done/published any work on the subject, please email me a link
to your article.

I'll submit a summary to Linguistlist within a few days of the publication
of this query.

Thank you very much,
Yordanka Kavalova

Greetings,

As a student in linguistics interested in African languages, I would like to 
know if any linguist ever created a ''Swadesh like'' list adapted to African 
languages.

Thanks in advance,
