Abstract:
This volume is made up of 17 chapters which have developed out of papers
and workshop sessions presented at the event entitled «Corpora: Seminar and
Workshops», held at the University of Padua, March 29-31, 2007. It
maintains the straightforward, practical approach which characterized that
event, meant as an introduction to the use of corpora even for novices. At
the same time it goes into a wide range of different applications for
corpora in language teaching and language research in higher education. One
of these involves the creation and use of learner corpora. Another
application involves corpus-assisted research into political discourse in
the media. Language for special purposes is also focussed on as a research
topic, an academic discipline, and language to be translated. Multimodal
corpora are also considered. Proposals are made for corpus-based research
into the language of films, and into translation (and mediation)
universals. A corpus-based study of text complexity in reading tests is
also presented. Large-scale corpora commercially available are also
discussed. An online module for translator training is presented, as is an
Internet-accessible corpus of Old English poetry.
