Abstract:
This paper introduces the Corpus of Academic Learner English (CALE), a Language for Specific Purposes learner corpus that is currently being compiled for the quantitative and qualitative study of lexico-grammatical variation patterns in advanced learners' written academic English. CALE is designed to comprise seven academic genres produced by learners of English as a foreign language in a university setting and thus contains discipline- and genre-specific texts. The corpus will serve as an empirical basis to produce detailed case studies that examine individual (or the interplay of several) determinants of lexico-grammatical variation, e.g. semantic, structural, discourse-motivated and processing-related ones, but also those that are potentially more specific to the acquisition of L2 academic writing such as task setting, genre and writing proficiency. Another major goal is to develop a set of linguistic criteria for the assessment of advanced proficiency conceived of as "sophisticated language use in context". The research findings will be applied to teaching English for Academic Purposes by creating a web-based reference tool that will give students access to typical collocational patterns and recurring phrases used to express rhetorical functions in academic writing.
