Abstract
Most corpus tools commonly used for corpus-based data-driven learning (DDL) are designed for research rather than
teaching purposes, with much DDL research suggesting learners and their teachers often stop DDL after initial training due to
tool-related issues like complex user interfaces and system settings. Based on feedback from secondary-age language learners and
their teachers in the Australian context, we present CorpusMate (https://corpusmate.com), a new, user-friendly corpus tool that incorporates several publicly available written and
spoken corpora across 20 disciplinary subjects. It offers a range of flexible concordancing, n-gram and data visualisation options
to ensure a fast, smooth and simple DDL experience for end users.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Corpus Linguistics (IJCL) publishes original research covering methodological, applied and theoretical work in any area of corpus linguistics. Through its focus on empirical language research, IJCL provides a forum for the presentation of new findings and innovative approaches in any area of linguistics (e.g. lexicology, grammar, discourse analysis, stylistics, sociolinguistics, morphology, contrastive linguistics), applied linguistics (e.g. language teaching, forensic linguistics), and translation studies. Based on its interest in corpus methodology, IJCL also invites contributions on the interface between corpus and computational linguistics.
