In this paper, we present the Multimodal Corpus Analysis Tool which uses sets of categories, such as dominant colors and object location, to analyze a corpus of online advertisements. The 12 categories are based on both multimodal theory and advertising theory, and the tool produces frequency counts of codes and likelihood of co-occurrence of two codes using observed-to-expected ratio. We illustrate the use of the tool through three case studies. First, examining the left and right positioning of verbal content and images in horizontal adverts, we find that there is a general preference for language left – picture right adverts, a finding potentially questioning currently accepted theories of information value in multimodal texts. Second, examining color schemes in adverts, we find that most use of dominant colors reflects accepted meanings in advice on multimodal text design, except for blue which is associated with storge love. For brightness, colorfulness and contrast, there are differences between adverts for everyday products and adverts for services and expensive products. Third, focusing on the call to action phrases in the adverts, there are differences in the use of the two most common forms (<em>shop now</em> and <em>learn more</em>) in adverts for products and services. These cases illustrate the potential benefits of developing and using multimodal corpus tools.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72254,"journal":{"name":"Applied Corpus Linguistics","volume":"3 1","pages":"Article 100042"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47829695","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}

Established public health communications strategies including self-efficacy messaging, fear appeals, and moralising messaging were all used during the Coronavirus pandemic. We explore the reception of public health messages to understand the efficacy of these established messaging strategies in the COVID-19 context. Taking a community-focussed approach, we combine a corpus linguistic analysis with methods of wider engagement, namely, a public survey and interactions with a Public Involvement Panel to analyse this type of real-world public health discourse.</p><p>Our findings indicate that effective health messaging content provides manageable instructions, which inspire public confidence that following the guidance is worthwhile. Messaging that appeals to the audience's morals or fears in order to provide a rationale for compliance can be polarising and divisive, producing a strongly negative emotional response from the public and potentially undermining social cohesion. Provenance of the messaging alongside text-external political factors also have an influence on messaging uptake. In addition, our findings highlight key differences in messaging uptake by audience age, which demonstrates the importance of tailored communications and the need to seek public feedback to test the efficacy of messaging with the relevant demographics. Our study illustrates the value of corpus linguistics to public health agencies and health communications professionals, and we share our recommendations for improving the public health messaging both in the context of the ongoing pandemic and for future novel and re-emerging infectious disease outbreaks.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72254,"journal":{"name":"Applied Corpus Linguistics","volume":"3 1","pages":"Article 100037"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9630298/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9910276","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}

This distinction is relevant across a range of health contexts, including but not limited to obesity, diabetes, or mental illness. Consequently, there is considerable interest in corpus linguistics and beyond in identifying the frequency of such language in large corpora. However, there is no consensus regarding the specific corpus search techniques to be used for this purpose. This article therefore offers a relevant methodological contribution, based on a trial of six different search techniques. Results from each technique are compared with respect to four different parameters: raw frequency, proportional usage, number of types identified (a proxy for ‘recall’) and false positives (a proxy for ‘precision’). This comparison in turn provides a basis for recommendations for future corpus linguistic studies of person- and identity-first language. The corpus that we use for this trial is a 16.4 million word corpus with newspaper articles containing the word <em>obesity</em> or <em>obese</em>. However, the findings should be relevant to other kinds of identity where similar syntactic structures are at play for expressing identity-first and person-first language.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72254,"journal":{"name":"Applied Corpus Linguistics","volume":"3 1","pages":"Article 100046"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44693098","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}

Frankenberg-Garcia (2012a) reports that this is partly due to teachers having little time to prepare lessons with corpora given their busy teaching schedules. However, we also argue it is because teachers are not exposed to corpora sufficiently in pre-service teacher training programmes. This paper outlines a training framework for in-service EFL practitioners which will enable them to become corpus literate over a period of weeks. The framework utilises observational learning, and we gauge trainees’ corpus literacy development based on their reflections and experiences of teaching with corpora in class. Similar to previous corpus training research, teachers reported an overwhelmingly positive experience of learning to use a corpus for classroom materials design. Unlike previous trainings with corpora, teachers commented that using corpora did not require more time in lesson preparation when compared with traditional methods. Recommendations for future iterations of the training programme include the incorporation of additional corpora, tools and user interfaces.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72254,"journal":{"name":"Applied Corpus Linguistics","volume":"3 1","pages":"Article 100048"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42556145","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}
