Corpus-based materials supporting the writing of academic English.

Academic Corpora

Simple concordancers for different sections of research articles. Search by Introduction, Method, Results, Discussion, and Conclusion. Not all disciplines follow this macrostructure, but the phrases and rhetorical moves in the Method section, for example, will be present in the article even if there is no Method heading.

Academic Writing

To write well in an academic setting, you need to know the conventions of your discipline: the typical article structure, appropriate phrasing, and sentence patterns. Based on large-scale corpus analysis, these guides use text analysis to make explicit the conventions associated with different disciplines.
