- Summary:
- The 30th anniversary of the conference and its sponsoring organization International Computer Archive of Modern and Medieval English, provided an opportunity to review the history of corpus linguistics and project its future as well as share recent findings. The proceedings are published in two volumes, the other one collecting methodological and historical papers, while this one focuses on results of research into modern English. The 16 selected papers consider such aspects as interpersonal themes and author stance in student writing, comparing pre-war and post-war data on differential change in British and American English, a comparison of the perfect in Bulgarian and German English-as-a-foreign-language writing, evidence from the TIME Corpus for the transitive into -ing construction in early-20th-century American English, and variation in the progressive in World Englishes.
