This chapter highlights and discusses the special characteristics of learner corpus data and the challenges they may present for corpus compilation, annotation, and analysis. Because learner corpus and SLA researchers use their data to study L2 production and development, it is of utmost… read more
Larsson, Tove, Marcus Callies, Hilde Hasselgård, Natalia Judith Laso, Sanne van Vuuren, Isabel Verdaguer and Magali Paquot 2020 Adverb placement in EFL academic writing: Going beyond syntactic transferInternational Journal of Corpus Linguistics 25:2, pp. 156–185 | Article
The present study looks at adverb placement in expert writing and in first-language and second-language novice spoken and written production. The extent to which first-language (L1) transfer is still present in advanced learners’ written production is also investigated. The study uses data from… read more
Callies, Marcus 2019 Integrating corpus literacy into language teacher education: The case of learner corporaLearner Corpora and Language Teaching, Götz, Sandra and Joybrato Mukherjee (eds.), pp. 245–264 | Chapter
Despite the increasing popularization and availability of corpus tools and resources, the practice of English language teaching still seems to be only marginally affected by the corpus-linguistic turn, because comparatively few teachers were trained in corpus linguistics and use corpora or corpus… read more
Callies, Marcus 2018 Towards a process-oriented approach to comparing EFL and ESL varieties: A corpus-study of lexical innovationsRethinking Linguistic Creativity in Non-native Englishes, Deshors, Sandra C., Sandra Götz and Samantha Laporte (eds.), pp. 99–120 | Article
This paper adopts a process-oriented approach to comparing EFL and ESL varieties and examines to what extent they are driven by general cognitive processes of language acquisition and production. A comparative corpus-study of lexical innovations in derivational morphology brings to light two… read more
Callies, Marcus 2018 Patterns of direct transitivization and differences between British and American EnglishChanging Structures: Studies in constructions and complementation, Kaunisto, Mark, Mikko Höglund and Paul Rickman (eds.), pp. 151–167 | Chapter
Rohdenburg (2009) found that prepositions are increasingly omitted in several types of verbs, marking a shift in complementation from an intransitive pattern with a prepositional object to a transitive pattern featuring a direct object noun phrase. In particular, the decrease of prepositional… read more
Callies, Marcus 2017 ‘Idioms in the making’ and variation in conceptual metaphorMetaphor Variation in Englishes around the World, Callies, Marcus and Alexander Onysko (eds.), pp. 63–81 | Article
This paper discusses the culture-specificity of figurative language use in varieties of English. Idioms as a special type of figurative language are understood as being conceptually motivated by underlying metaphorical mappings, also reflecting the nexus of language and culture. On the basis of… read more
Callies, Marcus and Alexander Onysko 2017 Metaphor variation in Englishes around the world: Introduction to the special issueMetaphor Variation in Englishes around the World, Callies, Marcus and Alexander Onysko (eds.), pp. 1–6 | Introduction
This paper adopts a process-oriented approach to comparing EFL and ESL varieties and examines to what extent they are driven by general cognitive processes of language acquisition and production. A comparative corpus-study of lexical innovations in derivational morphology brings to light two… read more
In L2 acquisition, knowledge of derivational morphology and the combinatory properties of affixes and bases in the L2 has a positive effect on learners’ receptive and productive vocabulary. This chapter presents a learner-corpus study of affixation in the writing of EFL learners of diverse L1… read more

Callies, Marcus and Sandra Götz 2015 Learner corpora in language testing and assessment: Prospects and challengesLearner Corpora in Language Testing and Assessment, Callies, Marcus and Sandra Götz (eds.), pp. 1–10 | Article
This paper examines novice writers’ strategies in the (non-)representation of authorship in academic writing drawing on data from the Corpus of Academic Learner English and a native-speaker control corpus. The analysis focuses on the quantitative and qualitative use of pronouns, subject… read more
Callies, Marcus and Ekaterina Zaytseva 2013 The Corpus of Academic Learner English (CALE): A new resource for the assessment of writing proficiency in the academic registerWriting Assessment in Higher Education, Weltens, Bert, Jos Hornikx, Wander Lowie, Petra Poelmans and Rebecca L. Present-Thomas (eds.), pp. 126–132 | Article
Learner corpora present an option to inform, supplement and advance the way language proficiency is operationalized and assessed, and may also be used in data-driven approaches to the assessment of writing proficiency that are largely independent of human rating. The aim of this contribution is… read more
Callies, Marcus, Ekaterina Zaytseva and Rebecca L. Present-Thomas 2013 Writing assessment in higher education: Making the framework workWriting Assessment in Higher Education, Weltens, Bert, Jos Hornikx, Wander Lowie, Petra Poelmans and Rebecca L. Present-Thomas (eds.), pp. 1–15 | Article
The importance of appropriate assessment methods for academic writing skills in higher education has received increasing attention in SLA research in recent years. Despite this, there is still relatively little understanding of how academic writing skills develop at the most advanced levels of… read more
Callies, Marcus, Alexander Onysko and Eva Ogiermann 2012 Chapter 3. Investigating gender variation of English loanwords in GermanThe Anglicization of European Lexis, Furiassi, Cristiano, Virginia Pulcini and Félix Rodríguez González (eds.), pp. 65–89 | Article
This article examines variation in gender assignment to English loanwords – a phenomenon that has rarely been studied on a large empirical basis to date. We report on a multi-method study of gender assignment to Anglicisms as evidenced by large newspaper corpora and experimental data elicited from… read more
Callies, Marcus 2011 Widening the goalposts of cognitive metaphor researchBi-Directionality in the Cognitive Sciences: Avenues, challenges, and limitations, Callies, Marcus, Wolfram R. Keller and Astrid Lohöfer (eds.), pp. 57–82 | Article
This chapter discusses patterns of use and variation in selected sports-related idiomatic expressions based on conceptual metaphors in five national varieties of English. Previous studies have predominantly focused on the pervasiveness of sports metaphors and their linguistic realization in… read more
