Based on two corpora: LOCNESS (Louvain Corpus of Native English Essays) and MLC (Non-English major Mainland Chinese Learner Corpus), this book explores the grammatical and lexical collocations of Chinese learner English. As one of the first systematic studies to investigate collocations in Chinese learner English based on learner corpora, this book provides significant implications for foreign language teaching and learning.
This work aims to provide insights into the way a corpus can be used, the type of findings that can be obtained, the possible applications of these findings as well as the theoretical changes that corpus work can bring into linguistics and language engineering. Topics include the rise of corpus linguistics, delexicalization, semantic prosodies and different corpora for different purposes.
The marginalia of Thomas Swalwell (d. 1539) in his many early printed books provide remarkable access to the interests and concerns of a typical late medieval English Benedictine monk. Devout, scholarly, and busy, he studies everything from how to assess tithes on sheep to theological differences between Muslims and Christians. He is passionate about prayer, preaching, and clerical integrity, while carrying significant administrative responsibilities within the Durham Priory. In the early years of the Reformation, his annotations reveal the impact of religious change and his response to it. Illustrated with samples of Swalwell’s marginalia and rare sheets of his manuscript notes, this volume will be a welcome addition to the collection of anyone interested in monasticism, the history of the book, or early English Reformation history.
