Listen "Introducing "corpus": a tool for finding language patterns"
Episode Synopsis
When reading texts for inspiration on how you can write your own essays, you can be a "detective", examining the language patterns of a large bulk of texts from experts. This text database is called a "corpus", which is available online with very useful search functions. In this episode, I'll give a quick walkthrough of an online corpus tool, and show you how you can find regular patterns of language use in academic writing, those that you can apply in your own!
