DESCRIPTION:This presentation will examine a corpus of UK broadsheet text 
 centred around the term austerity. The corpus comprises over 21\,000 artic
 les (23m words) from the Independent\, Telegraph\, Guardian and Times news
 papers. The aims are twofold: first to consider problems which arise in bu
 ilding a and parsing a corpus based on online text obtained from a databas
 e source such as LexisNexis\, and second\, to contemplate lexical patterni
 ngs which have been found in the data. Findings will cover grammar\, collo
 cation and key words and key word clusters both synchronically and diachro
 nically. \n\n\n*Mike Scott's* original career was in EFL and EAP\, teachin
 g in chiefly Brazil and Mexico\, and then as a lecturer in Applied Linguis
 tics at Liverpool University. His PhD (Lancaster University\, 1990) was on
  Lexical Inferencing. His most recent post was as Reader in Corpus Linguis
 tics\, Aston University. He is the author of several corpus linguistic sof
 tware packages of which the best known is WordSmith Tools (version 1.0 OUP
  1996 and now at version 7.0). He is a Visiting Researcher at Aston Univer
 sity.\n
