Abstract

Abstract In this article we explore the relationship between learner corpus and second language acquisition research. We begin by considering the origins of learner corpus research, noting its roots in smaller scale studies of learner language. This development of learner corpus studies is considered in the broader context of the development of corpus linguistics. We then consider the aspirations that learner corpus researchers have had to engage with second language acquisition research and explore why, to date, the interaction between the two fields has been minimal. By exploring some of the corpus building practices of learner corpus research, and the theoretical goals of second language acquisition studies, we identify reasons for this lack of interaction and make proposals for how this situation could be fruitfully addressed.

语料库语言学、学习者语料库与二语习得:运用技术分析语言使用

摘要本文探讨了学习者语料库与二语习得研究的关系。我们首先考虑学习者语料库研究的起源，注意到它起源于对学习者语言的小规模研究。学习者语料库研究的发展是在语料库语言学发展的更广泛背景下考虑的。然后，我们考虑了学习者语料库研究人员参与第二语言习得研究的愿望，并探讨了为什么到目前为止，这两个领域之间的互动很少。通过探索学习者语料库研究的一些语料库建设实践，以及第二语言习得研究的理论目标，我们找出了这种缺乏互动的原因，并就如何有效地解决这种情况提出了建议。

期刊介绍： The Annual Review of Applied Linguistics publishes research on key topics in the broad field of applied linguistics. Each issue is thematic, providing a variety of perspectives on the topic through research summaries, critical overviews, position papers and empirical studies. Being responsive to the field, some issues are tied to the theme of that year''s annual conference of the American Association for Applied Linguistics. Also, at regular intervals an issue will take the approach of covering applied linguistics as a field more broadly, including coverage of critical or controversial topics. ARAL provides cutting-edge and timely articles on a wide number of areas, including language learning and pedagogy, second language acquisition, sociolinguistics, language policy and planning, language assessment, and research design and methodology, to name just a few.
