Wordlists – general and specialised
Wordlists have been around since before the invention of computers. General wordlists are used for curriculum development, textbook writing etc.
Also possible to produce a word list for a reading (or a possibly textbook)
![Page 4: Enhancing Language Learning Using Corpora](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062300/5563be03d8b42ac70d8b5675/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Wordlists – general
Use existing wordlists such as West's General Service List and recent updates. Coxhead's Academic Wordlist. Kilgarriff's Wordlists based on the BNC.

Academic Word List
• receptive list (based on morphological derivations)
• the list excludes words found in non-academic texts (even if they occur in academic texts)
• do we need subject or genre-specific wordlists? (Hyland)
![Page 9: Enhancing Language Learning Using Corpora](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062300/5563be03d8b42ac70d8b5675/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Specialised Word List
• Create a wordlist from a corpus (using concordancer or other utilities)
• May need to create your own corpus – BootCaT ?? Silvia Bernadini

Collocation lists
• More difficult to find – use Collocation Dictionary??
• Biber's work on lexical bundles
• Use concordancer or utility to create ngram lists or locate collocations
• Collocate – shown below
![Page 13: Enhancing Language Learning Using Corpora](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062300/5563be03d8b42ac70d8b5675/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Concordancers• Using a concordancer in the classroom
• Corpus as a reference tool – query the corpus
– can you say “the government are”
– what is the difference between “for instance” and “for example”
– Tim Johns – Data-driven Learning
• (...caused economic development...)
![Page 17: Enhancing Language Learning Using Corpora](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062300/5563be03d8b42ac70d8b5675/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Concordance data
• DDL – highlighting/noticing/discovery learning
• Highlight unexpected (for the learner) distinctions, uses etc.
• Sequence data to build up knowledge
![Page 21: Enhancing Language Learning Using Corpora](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062300/5563be03d8b42ac70d8b5675/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Parallel concordance data
• Parallel concordance works on translation corpus
• Students need to have same L1
![Page 22: Enhancing Language Learning Using Corpora](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062300/5563be03d8b42ac70d8b5675/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Concordance data issues
• KWIC format
• Google effect
• Data overload
• Reauthenticating data
– Sabine Braun – includes discourse perspective (Why did the speaker use that form?)
