    New work from John Benjmains Publishing:

    Small Corpus Studies and ELT. Theory and practice Mohsen GHADESSY, Alex HENRY and Robert L. ROSEBERRY (University of Brunei / International Pacific College, Palmerston North, New Zealand) (eds.)

    Studies in Corpus Linguistics 5 2001. xxiv, 420 pp. US & Canada: 1 58811 035 4 / USD 114.00 (Hardcover) Rest of world: 90 272 2275 4 / EUR 125.00 (Hardcover)

    Recent developments in this field of small corpus studies, largely brought about by the personal computer, have yielded remarkable insights into the nature and use of real language. This book presents work by a number of leading researchers in the field and covers a series of topics directly related to language teaching and language research. The ultimate aim of this book is to encourage the exploitation of small corpora by the ELT profession to make language learning more effective. In addition to descriptions of the basic corpus analysis tools, chapters in the collection cover syllabus and materials design, comparisons of different genres, descriptions of local and functional grammars, compilation and use of learner corpora, and making cross-linguistic comparisons. The message of this collection is that language use is purposeful and culture specific and that small corpus analysis is an effective method of linguistic investigation.
