Corpus Linguistics and Linguistic Theory

The introductory chapter of this special issue on ‘Learner Corpus Research, Cognitive Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition’ addresses the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and potential threats of using both learner corpora and Cognitive Linguistics to research second language acquisition. We also discuss some terminological issues related to the notion of second language acquisition. Finally, we present the various chapters included in the volume and explain how each of them concretely articulates the connections between the three disciplines under analysis.

Corpus linguistics studies have by now become a staple of linguists and teachers worldwide. Even practitioners who are not directly involved with corpus development or analysis are increasingly aware of this domain and its results. Thus, we can say that the time has come to investigate the long-term effects of the findings connected to corpus linguistics. This paper focuses on a specific sort of corpus: the learner corpus. It argues that what used to be a more traditional approach represented in the EFL (English as a foreign language) discipline has evolved into a perhaps more appropriate one represented in ELF (English as a lingua franca) partly because of the work of learner corpus research. To demonstrate any existing long-term effects of work with learner corpora on language education, an L2 corpus, the JPU Corpus, is presented. Five of the ten hypotheses originally set up in the early 2000s are revisited and critiqued by applying both quantitative and qualitative investigations.
