Workshop for English Teachers: Word Sketches

Saturday, August 30th, 2003, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Speaker: Adam Kilgarriff, University of Brighton

A word sketch is a one-page, automatically-produced, corpus-based summary of a word's grammatical and collocational behaviour. Dr Adam Kilgarriff, University of Brighton will introduce word sketches, and describe how they have been used in dictionary-making. We shall then all explore using word sketches, both for preparing exercises, and, simply, to find out how a word is used in natural, native-speaker English.
