Subject: Seeking Recommendations for Corpus Linguistics


I am seeking recommendations for which corpus linguistics software/packagesto purchase.

I have NO experience with MonoConc, WordSmith or any other. I am lookingfor something that isn't TOO sophisticated, but reputable, and especiallyeasy-to use.

I will be teaching for the first time a Corpus Linguistics course in ourMA-TESOL program, so am attempting to get current in the area. I have alittle money with which to buy software.

Thank you.Karen Englander, Ph.DUniversidad Autonoma de Baja California, Mexico
