Join Dr Robbie Love as he speaks with top researchers in the field to find out more about how corpus linguistics – the study of linguistic patterns in large samples of language – is applied to a diverse range of areas including health, social justice and education.

Professor Tony McEnery (Lancaster University) joins Robbie to discuss the development of the FutureLearn online course Corpus Linguistics: Method, Analysis, Interpretation.

Tony has published widely on corpus linguistics and is the author of at least 18 books including Corpus Linguistics: Method, Theory and Practice (with Andrew Hardie) and the forthcoming book Fundamental Principles of Corpus Linguistics (with Vaclav Brezina).

In 2013, Tony founded the ESRC Centre for Corpus Approaches to Social Science (CASS) at Lancaster University, which went on to win a prestigious Queen’s Anniversary Prize for research in 2015.

Tony is heavily involved in applied corpus research and has worked with a range of partner organizations in the public sector (e.g. the Department of Culture Media and Sport, the Environment Agency and the Home Office) and the private sector (e.g. with British Telecom, IBM, Nokia and Research in Motion).

Tony was Robbie’s PhD supervisor at Lancaster University, where they worked together on the construction of the spoken component of the British National Corpus 2014.

The 2022 iteration of the FutureLearn course Corpus Linguistics: Method, Analysis, Interpretation will launch on 19th September. For more information, visit 👉 https://bit.ly/3dPGaqP
