    Corpus Linguistics Research Group

    The Corpus Linguistics Research Group brings together scholars interested in the computer-aided analysis of large digital collections of text (corpora) across multiple disciplines and areas of study, such as language learning and teaching, discourse analysis, translation, natural language processing and literature.

    • Members of the group have experience working on a wide range of corpus-based and corpus-driven research (Please refer to our staff website: /en/study/departments/school-of-humanities-and-social-sciences/department-of-applied-linguistics/department-staff/academic-staff)
    • Research draws on data from large ready-made corpus collections as well as custom-made specialist corpora
    • The Department of Applied Linguistics at XJTLU is home to The Prime Machine. Dr Stephen Jeaco, developer of this tool, runs workshops and continues to develop new software functionality. You can find the information about the software at https://theprimemachine.net/
