Amy Gordon English Language Senior English Analogical Modeling, Empirical Methods in Eng. Ling., Semantics, Phonetics/Phonology, Usage Web Publishing, Print Publishing I've spent so much time doing the grunt work of corpora, I'd like to find out more about what they can do.

Teresa (Terayza) Martin TESOL Grad   Ling 330, research Ling 500, teaching and methodology Ling 477 Chum 210 I want to use corpora to help students to learn and teachers to teach English more effectively. The great benefit of corpora to me is the "natural" examples and text that are available to a student. I think this is an exciting new area to work with, and I look forward to discovering more about the topic.
Ross Hendrickson English Language Senior Mandarin Chinese Modern American Usage, Grammar, Linguistics Analysis Techniques   I work as a software engineer for the MTC programming applications in Flex and I am currently part of Dr. Lonsdales PSST research group. I felt this class would give me a better understanding of Corpus Linguistics and help me find ways to apply the use of Corpora to my own research and programs. I am interested in how to use the computer to facilitate research and human-computer and human-human interaction. I am hoping to pursue an advanced degree in computational linguistics and hope to teach.

Cassandra Sutton ELANG/Editing minor Senior   Psycholinguistics, Sociolinguistics Studies in Editing, Early Modern English, Phonetics and Phonology, Usage, Semantics and Pragmatics It looks fun! I enjoyed the introductory class two years ago and never saw that there was an upper level class, but lo and behold, there 'twas. I think corpora are fun. It is great to guess something about the language and then find cold, hard evidence supporting. You can't argue with a corpus.
