If you are an instructor at the University of Michigan and would like to learn more about corpus analysis and how to use corpora with your students, you may be interested in joining our Corpus Analysis Group.
The MCL team frequently provide introductions to corpus analysis and training in the use of corpus tools for scholars visiting the ELI and also in writing classes offered in the English Language Institute.
This is a project to explore the factors involved in the measurement of repeated word sequences in language sampled from a range of corpora.
Using computational corpus analysis and experimental data this project aims to produce an extensive inventory of English Verb Argument constructions and to quantify aspects related to the frequency, semantic coherence and speaker accessibility of verbs in constructions.
These projects illustrate the range of research being carried out by members of the MCL team.
This page lists a number of useful corpus tools and corpora you can search online to retrieve examples of real spoken and written English.
