2017 Spring: 通識英文 Internet & Vocabulary Tools 2

Author: Sally Lai 2017-03-20

Internet & Vocabulary Tools (2)

Internet & Vocabulary Tool 2

1.	Review
	Share the 5 words you learned from CNN with one of your classmates.
	Share your experiences in using the tools we discussed last week.

2.	Learners’ Dictionaries
	A. Oxford Advanced American Dictionary (American English)
	http://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/american_english/
	B. Longman Dictionary of Contemporary Dictionary
	http://www.ldoceonline.com/
	C. Cambridge Advanced Learner’s Dictionary
	http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/

3.	Dictionary Labels
	Learner dictionaries give students a lot of useful information about when and where to use a word or phrase through labels.
	Some common dictionaries labels. 1. formal 2. informal 3. spoken 4. old-fashioned

4.	What is collocation
	1. In English, certain words are often used together (co-occur). 2. Collocation refers to the restrictions on how words can be used together, for example which prepositions are used with particular verbs, or which verbs and nouns are used together. 3. Knowledge of collocations is vital for the competent use of a language. A grammatically correct sentence will stand out as ‘awkward’ if collocational preferences are violated. This makes collocation an interesting area for language teaching and learning.For example: make an appointment make a mistake make a dicision but, do an exercise do your homework do the research
	Types of collocation
	1. Verb + Noun V + the survey (做問卷調查) V + a study V + difficulties2. Adjective + Noun Adj + probability (很高的可能性, 機會很大) There is __________ probability that price growth will remain. Tthere is a __________ chance that President Bush will take a new direction on Iraq. 3. Adverb + Verb strongly + suggest 4. Adverb + Adjective totally different very different slightly different 5. Adjective + Preposition blamed for happy about happy with

7.	Concordancer
	What is a corpus: A concordancer is a kind of search engine designed for language study. If you enter a word, it looks through a large body of texts, called a corpus, and lists every single example of the word.This lets you look at a word in context, see how common it is, and see the style associated with it. Such a tool is a computer-specific tool that you may not be familiar with from learning English by more traditional ways, but it is worth spending some time experimenting with it and getting to know how to use it.In addition to showing you a clear and objective picture of language use, concordancer can help you with words that you are unsure of. You can use it to compare your usage with that of native speakers.Further reading at http://www.usingenglish.com/articles/concordancers.html
	Concordancer: A collection of texts, spoken and/or written, which has been designed and compiled based on a set of clearly defined criteria. (e.g. British National Corpus, BNC Spoken Corpus , Brown Corpus)Corpus users use a type of software called a “concordancer” to search for a specific word or phrase they want to find. The concordancer searches the whole database and then provides all the sentences containing that word or phrase. In this way, the user can see how it has been used by many different people, and can study its meaning, grammar, and so on.Corpora (that’s the plural of corpus) are now used by many people involved in language teaching. All of the modern learners’ dictionaries are based on corpora. People who study grammar and how best to teach it use corpora to discover new grammar principles NOT found in older grammar books. e.g. Cambridge International Corpus (Cambridge Online Dictionary).Different corpora native speaker vs. learner monolingual vs. multilingual

8.	Bilingual online concordancers
	Parallel corpus–A parallel corpus is a collection of texts, each of which is translated into one or more other languages than the original.
