Practical applications in language corpora

The papers in this volume are centred on the general field of corpus linguistics and the varying types of language corpora within it. The papers show that corpus linguistics and the related subject of computational linguistics is a vibrant research area with a wide range of approaches. They address a number of key issues in the research areas of learner corpora, parallel corpora, translation, semantic and lexicography, corpus analysis and expert systems. Finally, a number of contributors come from different language backgrounds and this is reflected in their papers.
