Corpus linguistics: resources and activities for EFL

Abstract

This paper has a practical aim in that it intends to show how corpus linguistics can contribute to develop advanced language learners' communicative competence through some corpus-based search activities and subsequent analysis of the retrieved material. In particular, it illustrates how corpora can be exploited to study given language phenomena in order to show the connection between text and context in both cultural and functional-rethorical dimensions
