Representational gestures correlated with meaning-associated aspects of L2 speech performance Gesture 20:3, pp. 376–416 | Article
2021 Gesture and speech are closely associated channels involved in conveying meaning. Previous studies have reported the relationship between gesture use and speech performance for highly proficient speakers. This study extends the investigation of this relationship by correlating the… read more
Sequence and word frequency Cognitive Linguistic Aspects of Information Structure and Flow, Lu, Wei-lun and Jirí Lukl (eds.), pp. 284–306 | Article
2020 It is well-established that the linear ordering of words in a sentence is influenced by a variety of factors that are typically labelled as grammatical, discourse or cognitive constraints. The aim of the present study is to determine whether frequency effects are visible in the sequencing of… read more
The individual and the group from a corpus perspective The Corpus Linguistics Discourse: In honour of Wolfgang Teubert, Čermáková, Anna and Michaela Mahlberg (eds.), pp. 163–184 | Chapter
2018 The connection between the individual and the group has been a recurring issue since the earliest investigations into the nature of language.

2016 In this article, I provide a brief introduction to the operation and motivation behind the text analysis tool WordSkew. This program, currently available for Windows, is a variant of a typical concordance program. The distinguishing feature of the software is that it allows the user to specify the… read more
Individual differences and usage-based grammar International Journal of Corpus Linguistics 18:4, pp. 443–478 | Article
2013 Since usage-based theories such as cognitive grammar assume an intimate relationship between mental representations of grammar and the processing of instances of language (usage events), corpora have an important role in the development of grammatical analyses. One consequence of relying on corpus… read more
Corpus linguistics and theoretical linguistics International Journal of Corpus Linguistics 16:1, pp. 3–44 | Article
2011 This paper examines the relationship between corpus linguistics and theoretical linguistics from a variety of standpoints. We consider the nature of the fit between particular theoretical approaches and the three areas in which corpus linguistics has made a significant contribution to our… read more
Parallel texts and corpus-based contrastive analysis Current Trends in Contrastive Linguistics: Functional and cognitive perspectives, Gómez González, María de los Ángeles, J. Lachlan Mackenzie and Elsa M. González Álvarez (eds.), pp. 101–121 | Article
2008 In this chapter we explore a corpus-based approach to contrastive analysis, in which the tools and concepts of corpus linguistics are applied to contrastive studies (Altenberg & Granger 2002: 7). Following this approach, we start with few assumptions and examine the frequency data generated by the… read more
1. A comparative evaluation of bilingual concordancers and translation memory systems Topics in Language Resources for Translation and Localisation, Yuste Rodrigo, Elia (ed.), pp. 1–22 | Article
2008 Translators are turning to electronic language resources and tools to help cope with the increased demand for fast, high-quality translation. While translation memory tools are well known in the translation industry at large, bilingual concordancers appear to be familiar primarily within academic… read more

Editorial Languages in Contrast 1:1, pp. v–xii | Miscellaneous
1998 Corpora for Theory and Practice International Journal of Corpus Linguistics 1:1, pp. 1–37 | Article
1996 In this paper intuition-based studies of reflexive forms such as myself are contrasted with a corpus-based investigation of actual usage of reflexives. The examination of reflexives in English in several corpora reveals a variety of patterns, which are analysed within a schema-based approach to… read more
