Effective transition from corpus to classroom is not necessarily straightforward, though; expert and end-user input is essential for the potential of the corpus resource to be realised. This paper outlines the process by which fit-for-purpose vocabulary lists were derived from the new National Corpus of Contemporary Welsh (<em>Corpws Cenedlaethol Cymraeg Cyfoes</em> – CorCenCC). The immediate purpose in this case was to inform the revision of A1 and A2 level course materials for adult learners. A longer-term aim was to put in place a method by which vocabulary lists for more advanced level learners and learners of different ages could be extracted and developed from the corpus. The new corpus means that for the first time, the Welsh language curriculum is able to use word frequency information; teaching and assessment materials in major languages have been informed by word frequencies for several decades. Raw frequency lists, though, include troublesome content, and can exclude items with high relevance to learners. This paper demonstrates how, by working in partnership, Welsh language curriculum writers, assessors, language experts and corpus linguists can effectively manipulate corpus data into curriculum content. The methods and approaches reported here are replicable for use in other language contexts.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72254,"journal":{"name":"Applied Corpus Linguistics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49817971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For that, to best meet the needs of institutions and users, data were compiled from some segments of the Aeronautical Meteorology domain. During the compilation of this corpus, it was noticed that there was a great scarcity of specialized sources of this Aviation subdomain in English and, mainly, in Portuguese, including material by the Department of Airspace Control (DECEA), the only official Brazilian institution with the role of regulating standards relevant to Aeronautical Meteorology. By taking into account that a given government institution is considered an authoritative source concerning terms used in a specialized domain, it would be advisable to align professional and academic expertise, and institutional interests. Therefore, based on contributions of corpus linguistics theories, terminology, and institutional translation, this work relied on established parameters for the compilation and processing of information for inclusion in the corpus, and focused, in this first stage, on the selection of candidate terms, according to </span>corpus analysis. The first results showed that institutional and academic segments present some subtleties regarding terminology, as, on the one hand, some words are more specific to the academic register and, on the other hand, there are different uses of terms in the institutional setting, by </span>ICAO, WMO, or FAA.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72254,"journal":{"name":"Applied Corpus Linguistics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48255097","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A corpus of information tweets from 13 UK public health agencies totalling 560,000 words, with concomitant images and videos, was collected between March 2020 and February 2021. The most frequent n-grams occurring across all 13 public health agencies, and sample images occurring alongside these, were identified. In this study, we examine how images and videos combine with the phraseology to shape these COVID-19 public health information messages. Following this, six illustrative tweets were used as prompts for three focus groups of EAL participants based in the UK representing a range of first languages and occupations. Data from the focus groups was analysed in order to identify how common public health phraseology and images were received, understood and responded to by participants and how they felt they could be amended to increase their effectiveness for EAL speakers. We conclude with suggestions for making the language of public health messages simpler and more direct, aligning images more clearly with the language used and removing linguistic ambiguity. These recommendations for how such messaging could be improved in future public health campaigns could ensure a more effective and inclusive public health response.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72254,"journal":{"name":"Applied Corpus Linguistics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49817931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis distinguishes between a number of subtypes of epistemic expressions and three kinds of authorial voice. The results show that the April 2020 articles contain more epistemic expressions, of both weak commitment (<em>might, perhaps, apparently</em>…) and strong commitment (<span>know</span>, <em>clearly, surely</em>…), which suggests a greater need to distinguish the known from the unknown in this period, due to the pervasive state of uncertainty. The analysis has social implications, since it gives readers an opportunity to appreciate the careful assessments of epistemicity found in the corpus and therefore to consider the convenience of obtaining information from quality media. These social implications, together with the methodology of the analysis, contribute to the potential of the paper for pedagogical applications.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72254,"journal":{"name":"Applied Corpus Linguistics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10028353/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9963939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
