Title
The Academic Discourse of Mechanical Engineering: A corpus-based study into rhetorical conventions of research articles
Thi Ngoc Phuong Le, Minh Man Pham and Michael Barlow
This volume examines rhetorical conventions employed in mechanical engineering research to understand the knowledge-making principles of the discipline, as well as their expression within the research article. In particular, the study analyses the organisational patterns of mechanical engineering… read more[Studies in Corpus Linguistics, 107] 2023. xiii, 320 pp.
2021 Representational gestures correlated with meaning-associated aspects of L2 speech performance Gesture 20:3, pp. 376–416 | Article
Gesture and speech are closely associated channels involved in conveying meaning. Previous studies have reported the relationship between gesture use and speech performance for highly proficient speakers. This study extends the investigation of this relationship by correlating the… read more
2020 Sequence and word frequency Cognitive Linguistic Aspects of Information Structure and Flow, Lu, Wei-lun and Jirí Lukl (eds.), pp. 284–306 | Article
It is well-established that the linear ordering of words in a sentence is influenced by a variety of factors that are typically labelled as grammatical, discourse or cognitive constraints. The aim of the present study is to determine whether frequency effects are visible in the sequencing of… read more
2018 The individual and the group from a corpus perspective The Corpus Linguistics Discourse: In honour of Wolfgang Teubert, Čermáková, Anna and Michaela Mahlberg (eds.), pp. 163–184 | Chapter
The connection between the individual and the group has been a recurring issue since the earliest investigations into the nature of language. The contribution made here is to provide some empirical data on individual differences in the production of phrases and constructions. For this purpose,… read more
2016 WordSkew: Linking corpus data and discourse structure International Journal of Corpus Linguistics 21:1, pp. 105–115 | Article
In this article, I provide a brief introduction to the operation and motivation behind the text analysis tool WordSkew. This program, currently available for Windows, is a variant of a typical concordance program. The distinguishing feature of the software is that it allows the user to specify the… read more
2013 Individual differences and usage-based grammar International Journal of Corpus Linguistics 18:4, pp. 443–478 | Article
Since usage-based theories such as cognitive grammar assume an intimate relationship between mental representations of grammar and the processing of instances of language (usage events), corpora have an important role in the development of grammatical analyses. One consequence of relying on corpus… read more
2011 Corpus linguistics and theoretical linguistics International Journal of Corpus Linguistics 16:1, pp. 3–44 | Article
This paper examines the relationship between corpus linguistics and theoretical linguistics from a variety of standpoints. We consider the nature of the fit between particular theoretical approaches and the three areas in which corpus linguistics has made a significant contribution to our… read more
2008 Parallel texts and corpus-based contrastive analysis Current Trends in Contrastive Linguistics: Functional and cognitive perspectives, Gómez González, María de los Ángeles, J. Lachlan Mackenzie and Elsa M. González Álvarez (eds.), pp. 101–121 | Article
In this chapter we explore a corpus-based approach to contrastive analysis, in which the tools and concepts of corpus linguistics are applied to contrastive studies (Altenberg & Granger 2002: 7). Following this approach, we start with few assumptions and examine the frequency data generated by the… read more
2008 1. A comparative evaluation of bilingual concordancers and translation memory systems Topics in Language Resources for Translation and Localisation, Yuste Rodrigo, Elia (ed.), pp. 1–22 | Article
Translators are turning to electronic language resources and tools to help cope with the increased demand for fast, high-quality translation. While translation memory tools are well known in the translation industry at large, bilingual concordancers appear to be familiar primarily within academic… read more
2004 Basic processing: Software for corpus access and analysis How to Use Corpora in Language Teaching, Sinclair, John McH. (ed.), pp. 205–221 | Article
1999 MonoConc 1.5 and ParaConc International Journal of Corpus Linguistics 4:1, pp. 173–184 | Miscellaneous
The review describes the design and features associated with two Windows text analysis programs: a concordancer MonoConc and a parallel concordance program ParaConc. The general operation and potential uses of the two programs are briefly explored.

1998 Editorial Languages in Contrast 1:1, pp. v–xii | Miscellaneous
1996 Corpora for Theory and Practice International Journal of Corpus Linguistics 1:1, pp. 1–37 | Article
In this paper intuition-based studies of reflexive forms such as myself are contrasted with a corpus-based investigation of actual usage of reflexives. The examination of reflexives in English in several corpora reveals a variety of patterns, which are analysed within a schema-based approach to… read more
