Training materials (third party)
We have created many training materials for the corpora, such as those listed in
the [PDF Guides] and [Videos] sections above, as well as a general
overview of searches. In addition
to these online materials, the creator of the corpora can provide customized
workshops for universities, either virtual or in person.
There have also been many books on English (corpus) linguistics that
have provided overviews of the corpora. For example, almost every book on
corpora and language learning during the past 10-15 years has
focused on the corpora from English-Corpora.org, especially COCA. (Here is just a
small sampling:
A
B
C
D;
and see also the new 2023 book E ).
Previously, we had a policy of not including links at
English-Corpora.org for online training materials and videos that had been
created by others. This page, however, is the first step in listing some of
these. There are many such materials -- just google coca overview
or search for something similar in YouTube. But rather than having us sift
through all of these materials ourselves (actually myself, since almost
everything at English-Corpora.org is just the work of just
one person), we'll be relying on
materials that are suggested to us by others.
As a result, this list will probably grow quite slowly. We will start with just
one set of materials, which are quite expansive in nature. Feel free to contact
us (admin@english-corpora.org) with other suggestions that you might
have.
