Corpora and Language in Use

Presses universitaires de Louvain

Corpora and Language in Use is a series aimed at publishing research monographs and conference proceedings in the area of corpus linguistics and language in use. The main focus is on corpus data, but research that compares corpus data to other kinds of empirical data, such as experimental or questionnaire data, is also of interest, as well as studies focusing on the design and use of new methods and tools for processing language texts.

The series also welcomes volumes that show the relevance of corpus analysis to application fields such as lexicography, language learning and teaching, or natural language processing.

Since 2026, the series exclusively publishes research carried out within the PLIN Linguistic Research Unit at UCLouvain (PhD dissertations, PLIN Day lectures, conference proceedings, etc.) and welcomes contributions in the following languages: English, French, Dutch, German, Spanish, and Italian. Proposals for monographs or conference proceedings can be submitted to the series' Editors-in-Chief, Gaëtanelle Gilquin and Kristel Van Goethem.

Particle Placement in English L1 and L2 Academic Writing

This study seeks to contribute to a better understanding of how syntactic variation is affected by probabilistic factors in English as a foreign language (EFL, L2), exemplified by the effect of weight on the syntactic variation with English transitive verb-particle constructions and transitive verb-prepositional phrase (PP) constructions.

Widening the Scope of Learner Corpus Research

Since its beginnings in the late 1980s, the field of Learner Corpus Research (LCR) has been continuously evolving and thereby widening its scope. LCR is rapidly closing gaps within its original scope by expanding on the languages, language mediums (spoken vs written) and learner types covered, and it is turning its attention to...

Fluency and Disfluency across Languages and Language Varieties

Fluency and disfluency are characteristic of online language production and may be signalled by markers such as filled and unfilled pauses, discourse markers, repeats or self-repairs, which can be said to reflect ongoing mechanisms of processing and monitoring. The Fluency & Disfluency across Languages and Language Varieties conference...

Fluency and Disfluency across Languages and Language Varieties

Liesbeth Degand, Gaëtanelle Gilquin

Learner Corpus Research (LCR) is a vibrant discipline, which combines methodological rigour in the analysis of authentic learner data with a focus on practical pedagogical application. Following conferences in Louvain and Bergen, the third LCR conference, hosted by Radboud University Nijmegen, the Netherlands, illustrated how LCR has matured.

Multidimensional Perspectives on Interlanguage

This volume is a comprehensive corpus-based study of how learners of English (specifically French and Chinese) use the modal verbs may and can. It presents insightful data valuable to researchers whose main interests include: modality, learner corpus research, applied approaches to construction grammar and corpus-based cognitive linguistics.

Exploring may and can across Learner Corpora

Sandra Deshors

This volume is a corpus study of the construct of accuracy by learners of English as a Foreign Language based on the International Corpus of Learner English. It offers valuable information about the development of more than forty error types in a wide variety of domains such as grammar, lexis, lexico-grammar, spelling and punctuation.
